Academic Programs: Nursing | Nursing

The 21st-century nurse is a highly educated, proactive advocate for patients and patient care. As health care professionals who focus on immediate, hands-on patient care and treatment, nurses are critically important members of health care teams, providing preventive care, patient education and diagnosing and treating human responses to illness.

As integral members of the health care team, nurses are continually responding to the health care needs of a changing global society. They 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.

NYIT's, School of Health Professions currently offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program, available at the Old Westbury, Long Island Campus. The four-year course of study combines theory, research, and clinical practice within a Transcultural context. It is designed to give students thorough training and development in order to excel in professional nursing practice.

In addition, the curriculum and its strong emphasis on Transcultural Nursing practice prepares students to care for patients from diverse backgrounds. This sensitive, in-depth focus on the health beliefs and values of various cultural groups will provide our graduates with an outstanding competitive edge for practice in hospital facilities, private practices, schools, organizations and community agencies.

What is more, NYIT's State of the Art Nursing Labs, including patient simulation models for clinical practice, enhance the teaching-learning environment. We have extensive clinical and community partnerships to facilitate student learning experiences in a variety of health care settings.
