Department of Nursing (California State University, Fresno )
The Nursing Department is part of the College of Health and Human Services. The department chair is Michael Russler. We are located in McLane Hall, Room 190. During the academic year, the office is open from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm closing from 12:00 - 1:00 pm for lunch.
We currently offer a B.S. in Nursing. We also offer an M.S. in Nursing with the following two options: Clinical Nurse Specialist/Nurse Educator or Primary Care/Nurse Practitioner. Additionally, we have a program for a School Nurse Services Credential.
A wide variety of clinical placements are available for undergraduate students. Placement facilities include Community Hospitals of Central California, St. Agnes Medical Center, Children's Hospital of Central California, Veteran's Administration Medical Center, University Medical Center, Armenian Home, San Joaquin Gardens, the Kaiser Permanente Medical Group, and the health departments from Fresno, Madera, Kings, and Tulare counties.
The scope of nursing practice is changing significantly. The professional nurse uses theory and research-based knowledge to provide direct and indirect care to individuals, families, groups, and communities.
In the role as designer, manager, and coordinator of care, nurses collaborate with patients and interdisciplinary care teams. The department offers an undergraduate program which leads to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a postbaccalaureate School Nurse Services Credential Program with an option to pursue the master's degree in nursing, a graduate program leading to a Master of Science in Nursing, and a Post-Master's Nurse Practitioner Credential Program.
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
The program requires six semesters of nursing courses in addition to two semesters of prerequisite requirements. The basic General Education require-ments are the same for all majors. Upon completion of the sixth semester clinical course sequence, the student is qualified to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) and apply for the Public Health Nurse Certificate. California State University, Fresno's nursing program is licensed by the California Board of Registered Nursing and accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
