Nursing

Welcome to NYIT's Department of Nursing


NYIT's four-year program in nursing, leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, is located at two campuses: Old Westbury (Long Island) and Manhattan. Upon graduation, students are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN Licensing Exam.

Demand for nurses, especially in specialty areas, is projected to increase dramatically in the next decade. NYIT's baccalaureate nursing program allows students to seize opportunities in this growing profession with its uniquely strong emphasis on transcultural nursing -- including a sensitive and in-depth focus on the health beliefs and values of various cultural groups. Our students graduate with this understanding and an outstanding competitive edge for practice in hospital facilities, private practices, schools, organizations, and community agencies -- enabling them to respond effectively to the health care needs of a changing global society.

The 21st-century nurse is a highly educated, proactive advocate for patients and their loved ones. Today's nurses, who have more contact with patients than any other member of a health care team, must know how to incorporate physical, mental, emotional, cultural, and social understanding into the patient care plan. They must be able to balance immediate, hands-on patient care and treatment with a holistic, caring approach.

NYIT's nursing program and its challenging, robust curriculum prepares you for this rewarding profession by offering the latest tools and technology, experienced and knowledgeable professors, and a supportive academic environment.
