Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Nursing] From University of Rhode Island

Nursing is a creative activity that provides human services for the promotion of health, prevention of illness, and care of the ill. It is interdependent with all other disciplines concerned with health. Nursing knowledge is viewed as a unique synthesis drawn from the humanities and the natural, biomedical, and social sciences. Students use a systems perspective as a conceptual base to nursing. This conceptual approach to nursing incorporates the whole person and his or her environment with the nursing process. Our nursing curriculum enhances students’ ability to function professionally in community and home care settings with diverse populations.Clinical practicums include experience in numerous community agencies, schools, nursing homes, ambulatory care facilities, and hospitals throughout Rhode Island.
