Nova Southeastern University will create the College of Nursing on January 1. Formally a part of NSU’s College of Allied Health and Nursing, the new college has emerged because of the nursing program’s growth and success over the last five years.

 

The College of Health Care Sciences, formally a part of the College of Allied Health and Nursing, will also launch on January 1.

 

Nursing features an entry-level B.S.N., R.N. to B.S.N., R.N. to M.S.N, an online M.S.N., an M.S.N advanced practice registered nurse program in family nurse practitioner (FNP), a doctor of nursing practice (DNP) and an interdisciplinary nursing Ph.D. program in nursing education. The nursing program also offers its students three high-tech simulation labs in Davie, Miami, and Ft. Myers, providing interactive educational experiences using patient simulators. These high-tech patient simulators have voices; make heart, lung, bowel sounds; and have pulses and programmable vital signs that immerse the student in realistic clinical situations.
