Salve Regina University

Our program develops professional nurses who are liberally educated, ethically grounded and clinically competent health care providers. We offer two plans of study: a pre-licensure track for high school graduates and second-degree students, and a degree completion track for students who are already registered nurses.

Prepare to Practice Competently in a Variety of Settings

Through a mixture of classroom and experiential learning, our challenging curriculum emphasizes patient-centered care, introducing students to the essential knowledge and values needed to think critically, communicate effectively and assess and intervene therapeutically as professional nurses.

During their clinical placements in hospitals and health care facilities, our students acquire the skills necessary to address the complex needs of individuals, families, groups, communities and populations, while also identifying and respecting patients’ differences, values, preferences and expressed needs.

Our graduates are well prepared to continue their development as health care providers and members of the global health partnership, crafting the role of the nurse in the future. Students who receive a degree in nursing are prepared to take the NCLEX-RN examination to obtain the license necessary to enter practice as a registered nurse.
