Samuel Merritt College (School of Nursing)
Students who are interested in entering the program as Freshmen may apply directly to one of our partnership programs for pre-nursing at Holy Names University, Mills College (women only) or Saint Mary's College of California.
Samuel Merritt College will also admit transfer students on a direct entry basis from Community Colleges and other colleges and universities on a limited basis in fall and spring. The admission is as a first semester junior and it will take 4 semesters to complete the program.
The Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is an intensive, 12-month program designed for students who already have a bachelor's degree in a non-nursing field.
MISSION
Characterized by scholarship and community service, the School of Nursing prepares highly competent, qualified, and caring nurses who meet the health care needs and expectations of individuals, families, communities, and the profession.
PHILOSOPHY
Nursing is a dynamic, evolving discipline based on knowledge of human health derived from the integration of research, theory, and practice. The consistent orientation of nursing is to provide care that promotes well-being in the people served (ANA, 1995, p.6). The ultimate goal of nursing is to assist individuals, families, and communities to achieve optimal health within the parameters of applicable social, cultural, and environmental systems. The professional nurse consults with other health professionals, forms independent clinical judgments, and makes autonomous decisions based on a systematic problem solving approach. Students and faculty are committed to principles of shared responsibilities for continuous learning, self-assessment, and practice improvement.
