Mount Saint Mary College (Division of Nursing)

Today's nurses play a crucial role in our rapidly evolving health care system. With the United States suffering from a severe nursing shortage, students who enter our nursing program will not only find a program that is personally satisfying, it will open up a number of career doors for them in the future. Because of our focus on clinical decision-making and hands-on skills, our graduates are aggressively recruited by leading hospitals and health care agencies in the Hudson Valley region and beyond. Mount Saint Mary College builds its Nursing program on the concept that nurses are key health care practitioners because nurses are the professionals with the most comprehensive knowledge of the patient. Therefore, the Mount's Nursing program is designed to develop the broad knowledge base needed by professional nurses in a rapidly changing health care system. The need for nurses with Bachelor's degrees will increase as our health care system continues to become more complex. The role of nurses with bachelor's degrees is also becoming more complex. These nurses will be central players in designing, managing, coordinating and providing patient care across settings. The Mount's Nursing program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and enjoys a widespread reputation for excellence. Ninety-eight percent (98%) of our graduates are placed in competitive nursing jobs within three months of graduation. See yourself as a Nursing major If you want to be at the leading edge of an exciting and dynamic profession, the Mount's nursing program is just for you. Our exceptionally well-qualified professors are devoted to helping students tie classroom theory to the real world of professional nurse practice. Clinical faculty are experts in clinical practice and hold advanced specialty area certifications - obstetrical nursing, neonatology, pediatrics, medical-surgical nursing, critical care nursing, emergency and trauma nursing, psychiatric nursing and transcultural nursing. Learning in a high-tech environment Through our wireless network, you'll enjoy fast, convenient access to our library and the vast information resources of the Web. In addition to the state-of-the art computer and multimedia equipment found in our Academic Computer Center, nursing students also have their own dedicated computer lab. The Learning Resource Center includes workstations and interactive multimedia software capable of simulating a clinical setting. And then there's the Sims family. The Sims are anatomically correct computerized human-patient simulators which can be programmed to exhibit dozens of different real patient symptoms. The Mount has a family of these patient simulators and they expose our nursing students to medical situations they might never get to see even when they are in hospital settings as a student. Great professors, a great learning environment and great opportunities, that's what you'll get as a Nursing major at the Mount. Our nursing graduates are employed in leadership positions throughout the country. In addition to becoming staff nurses, Mount alumni work in such positions as nurse researchers, nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse educators at colleges, universities and pharmaceutical companies.
