South University (Nursing Program)
Welcome to South University’s Nursing program. The dynamics of healthcare in Florida make earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree a worthy goal.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor & Statistics, registered nurses constitute the largest health care occupation, with 2.4 million jobs. About 3 out of 5 jobs are in hospitals and registered nurses are projected to create the second largest number of new jobs among all occupations; job opportunities in most specialties and employment settings are expected to be excellent, with some employers reporting difficulty in attracting and retaining enough RNs.
The National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice and the American Nurses Association recommends that two-thirds of the basic nurse workforce be prepared with a bachelor's degree or higher by the year 2010 to meet the increasingly complex conditions of today's patient care needs.
At South University, we combine traditional classroom studies with interactive labs and practical experience to provide our students with an education that will prepare them to enter the nursing profession field.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
The dynamics of southeast coastal Florida make earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree a worthy goal. As the region experiences a gain in population each year the vacancy rate for nurses also continues to increase. Meanwhile, the National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice and the American Nurses Association recommends that two-thirds of the basic nurse workforce be prepared with a bachelor's degree or higher by the year 2010 to meet the increasingly complex conditions of today's patient care needs.
To address this regional challenge, the BSN program at South University prepares graduates to work in a wide variety of healthcare settings including home health, community-based clinics, schools, acute care hospitals, nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities. The program, offered only at South University’s West Palm Beach campus, interrelates care and concern for patients with the scientific knowledge to promote health and the quality of life.
