Nursing Program
Nurses at all
levels need to be caring and relate well to people of different backgrounds
and cultures. As a nurse, you need to be able to adapt to change, think
critically, and respond during crises. Personal integrity and ethical behavior
are essential for nurses. The nursing program is academically and physically
rigorous. As a nursing student, you need to be able to grasp scientific
concepts, set up and answer basic math and algebra problems, and communicate
well verbally and in writing. Physically, you need to be able to remain
on your feet for extended periods, lift up to 40 pounds, hear heart and
breath sounds and use a telephone, read fine print, and identify skin tones
such as pale, ashen, gray, or bluish. If you have a history of substance
abuse or mental health problems or a criminal record, you may wish to speak
with a nursing advisor prior to pursuing nursing as a career.
