Southern Connecticut State University (Nursing Department)
The Nursing Program at Southern Connecticut State University, established in 1969, is fully accredited by the National League for Nursing. The undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program offers two curricula: a basic four-year program and a flexible program designed for registered nurses from associate's degree and diploma programs. The degree requirements for a BSN degree include 124 credits. Upon completion of the baccalaureate program, students become eligible to take the licensing examination for registered nurses.
The educational environment promotes an attitude of inquiry and critical thinking where ideas are generated, assumptions questioned, solutions created, and the art of investigation prized. Learning is a shared experience with responsibility for learning vested in the student with the faculty serving as facilitators to the process.
Image of NursingThe Department of Nursing has an established chapter, Mu Beta Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. The chapter is active on a local, regional, and international level. Select students with superior academic achievement and leadership potential are invited to the membership during their nursing studies.
Students in the Department have the opportunity to become involved with the department's chapter of the National Student Nurses Association. Students are encouraged to join this organization during their pre-nursing studies in order to increase their awareness of nursing and broader health care issues.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING
The curriculum in the undergraduate nursing program is designed as an upper-division major. The program requires a strong liberal arts and science base as a prerequisite to nursing courses. Students complete theory courses in the major as well as hospital and community-based clinical practice. Full-time and part-time study options are available.
