Welcome
to the Rutgers School of Nursing-Camden
|
|
|
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
has been preparing nursing students for baccalaureate-level
professional practice for more than 35 years. Graduate
programs will soon
be launched.
The nursing
faculty at Rutgers-Camden are award-winning teachers,
scientists, and clinicians. They believe that education
for professional nursing is best accomplished in a university
setting, where a spirit of inquiry, the excitement of
discovery, and creative and critical thinking flourish.
Within such settings, the future nurse can best reach
their individual potential and gain an appreciation of
the multifaceted roles and functions of nursing within
society.
At Rutgers-Camden, courses in the natural and social sciences,
arts, and
humanities are integrated with the study of nursing throughout
a four-year program. |
Students learn to appreciate each
patient as an individual with biological, psychological,
social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions. Nursing courses
begin in the first year of the program. Students are prepared
for professional nursing practice as clinicians, health
teachers, managers, and leaders. Future pursuit of advanced
nursing education in clinical practice, research, education,
and/or administration is assumed. Our graduates are leaders
in nursing and health care throughout the Delaware Valley
and beyond.
