Adelphi
University College of Nursing and Public Health has announced a new
part-time Bachelor of Science in Nursing program -- offered evenings,
only at Adelphi’s Manhattan Center.
Due to start Fall 2016, this new program makes it possible for students to balance work, family and college.
The
convenience of evening classes makes Adelphi Manhattan the ideal choice
for part-time students who are prepared to pursue a bachelor’s degree
in Nursing.
This part-time Bachelor of Science
program at Adelphi's Manhattan Center combines the study of nursing
theory, research, clinical practice and community service. Dedicated to
the highest professional standards, this program instills an
appreciation for cultural diversity and an understanding of the various
applications of healthcare in a wide range of settings.
This
program emphasizes the nurse’s role in health promotion, long-term
care, research, advocacy, teaching and leadership management. The basic
nursing curriculum consists of a planned progression of courses that
build upon previous knowledge and develop skills at increasing levels of
competence. The lower-division nursing and the science courses are
prerequisite to the junior-level nursing courses. Throughout the
curriculum, concepts relating to the promotion of health, care during
illness, and long-term care are developed. Also emphasized are the
nurse’s roles in research, advocacy, teaching, change and management.
The
part-time undergraduate nursing program enables students who have
completed the prerequisite courses to earn their B.S. in Nursing in 8
terms (3 falls, 3 springs, and 2 summers) of part-time study.
For more details about the program, contact Irene Auteri Ferguson, director of nursing at Manhattan Center, at 212.965.8340, ext. 8366 or ferguson@adelphi.edu.
