BSN Program Details

One of the reasons that Husson Nursing graduates are so sought after in the job market, we believe, is the integrated approach to nursing that we take. We integrate nursing theory with hands-on-experience. We integrate concepts from the arts and humanities with facts from hard science and an array of clinical experiences in hospitals and the community. We encourage our students to develop a deep level of understanding of individuals, families, groups and communities, as well as a solid understanding of medical practice and nursing technique.

You will need guidance from the faculty to successfully integrate liberal arts and nursing education, and effort that will be rewarded and enhanced by openness and self-reflection. In addition to providing guidance, faculty serve as role models in this integrated approach. You will be asked to share with your instructors the evaluation process throughout your learning experience at Husson. You will be asked to evaluate yourselves against your own goals as a learner. The goal of nursing education is commitment to life-long learning.
