UNDERGRADUATE STUDY IN NURSING
Nursing is one of the oldest and best-known health professions. One of the most exciting aspects of nursing is the variety of career opportunities available. The registered nurse gives and supervises bedside nursing care, provides education and support for patients and their families, teaches nursing personnel, assists in operations, plans community health services and administers programs inside and outside of a hospital or institutional setting. Students in this field must have the ability to make rational decisions, use good judgment, organize and plan, have good physical and mental stamina, work well with people and be empathetic.
