Associate Dean's Welcome

Welcome to the Website of the Division of Nursing of the College of Pharmacy, Nursing and Allied Health Sciences. In visiting our Website you will learn about education, research and service opportunities within the Division of Nursing. The Division of Nursing is committed to educating and socializing students for nursing practice, leadership in the profession, contributing to the development and testing of the science of nursing, and providing service to the profession and the broader community.

The Undergraduate Program has four (4) tracks for pursuing study for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree. They include a Basic Track, sequenced over four (4) academic years; Advanced Placement Track, sequenced over 22 months and designed for individuals with a non-nursing undergraduate degree and/or completion of specific courses; RN to BSN Track, sequenced over one year for associate degree and diploma nurses; and a LPN to BSN Track, generally sequenced over a period of two (2) years.

The Graduate Program offers a program of study for the Master of Science in Nursing Degree with preparation as a family nurse practitioner. In addition, for nurses with a master’s in nursing, the Graduate Program offers the Post Master’s Certificate after completion of a two-semester full-time plan of study for preparation as a family nurse practitioner. All programs offered in the Division of Nursing are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.

Faculty and students of the Division of Nursing are committed to research, especially as it relates to the elimination of health disparities. In March of each year, the Division of Nursing sponsors the Dr. M. Elizabeth Carnegie Annual Research Conference and I invite you to visit our Website (MEC Conference) for further information. Also, you are invited to visit the link for Nursing Research for more information regarding the Office of Nursing Research, Yale-Howard Nursing Partnership Center to Reduce Health Disparities and other research projects.

Community service activities include an array of projects that focus on health care needs of underserved populations and the elimination of health disparities. The diversity of the Washington, D.C. community provides students with a variety of learning opportunities and challenges. In addition, the Division of Nursing has expanded in the realm of international nursing
