The Department of Nursing at the Rutgers– Camden College of Arts and Sciences is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications for the inaugural class of first-year students beginning with the fall 2010 semester.

The nursing program at Rutgers–Camden is committed to meeting its threefold mission of education, research, and service in southern New Jersey and the Delaware Valley. Our program prepares nursing students for baccalaureate-level professional practice, and now will expand to include first-year students.

At Rutgers­–Camden, students are engaged in a curriculum composed of liberal arts and scientific knowledge with an emphasis on research/inquiry skills. Through their teaching, the faculty encourage students to develop a spirit of inquiry and discovery, as well as creative and critical thinking. We believe that education for professional nursing is best accomplished in a college or university setting which supports this philosophy, and which allows students to develop their potential and increase their understanding of and appreciation for the role of nursing in society.

Rutgers–Camden nursing students are prepared for a multifaceted profession which includes the roles of practitioner, health teacher, researcher, leader, and patient advocate. Our graduates are nursing and health care leaders and practitioners active throughout the Delaware Valley and across the nation.
