FPB'S BSN: ALMOST DOUBLE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF CLINICAL HOURS

Now is the time to consider a career in nursing--not just as practitioners in hospitals and nursing homes, but also as educators in schools and colleges; administrators or consultants in business and industry; or clinical specialists in skilled care facilities and research centers. Opportunities in nursing continue to expand along with technology and our aging population. The faculty and staff of the FPB School of Nursing can prepare you for a solid, flexible, and rewarding career in nursing.

Highlights of our Bachelor's of Nursing Science (BSN) program include:

• Clinicals in the first year, with nearly double the national average of clinical hours (over 1,600) by graduation
• Direct admission to FPB (no pre-nursing track)
• Opportunities for senior year clinical work in community health, both in the United States and abroad in such nations as Australia, Chile, and Denmark
• Curriculum that prepares the learner for leadership in the health care delivery system of today and tomorrow
• Semester-long preceptorships at sites throughout the country
• Experiential learning that provides students with varied hands-on opportunities
• Student-faculty ratio that promotes mentoring and advising
• Chance to participate in research and publish with faculty
• Option for early admission to the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program
• High NCLEX pass rate
