Hartwick College

Nursing Programs Offered

BSN Program Details

Preparation for a career in the rapidly changing field of nursing requires more than a specialized scientific training necessary for licensure. Nurses must understand people and the world in which they live. They must be excellent communicators, have analytical and decision-making skills and be prepared to assume positions of leadership in patient care and management. Professional competencies increasingly will be defined in terms of the application of critical thinking to a broad range of health problems in people in order to promote, maintain and restore high-level wellness. Completion of Hartwick's baccalaureate nursing program, as part of a broader liberal education, will enable students to acquire these skills in addition to the nursing skills they will need to practice in our high-tech, health-conscious society.
