Learn from the Best in the Field

Our programs prepare professional nurses who can meet the health care needs of a culturally diverse society. Many of our faculty are still actively practicing in healthcare settings and bring that knowledge directly to their students in the classroom.

Clinical Experience

Our students take what they learn inside the classroom directly into patient care. Students already working in the field may be able to use their current placements in their community or work with many of our local partners:

Rochester Regional Health
Oak Orchard Health
University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC)
Local Area School Districts
