A Message from Department of Nursing Chair Dr. Susan Neville

Dear Students:

The end of the semester is fast approaching……Exams, papers and clinical rotations are due and/ or coming to an end for this semester.

The last few weeks has presented many challenges to all as we move forward after the storm. Please be advised that the NYIT Center for Health and Wellness is available for you if you feel stressed and or need to talk. Your course and clinical professors have advisement and office hours should you need to make an appointment.

During this time of traditional Thanksgiving, please remember in your thoughts the many individuals that have been impacted by Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath.

Best Wishes to you and your family.
