Registered nurses enter Adelphi with a foundation of professional knowledge and skill. This program of study aims to deepen their expertise with study in the liberal arts and sciences and to extend it to encompass health promotion, long-term care, research, advocacy, teaching, change, and management.
The undergraduate program for registered nurses is designed to accommodate the schedules of working nurses and allow students to enroll full time but in general to attend classes only one day per week. The current R.N. to B.S. curriculum is under review and subject to change.
Lower Division Curriculum:
Registered nursing students admitted to the program take University General Education requirements, science, and nursing theory courses.
