Rowan University

Rowan University School of Nursing & Health Professions in collaboration with the Division of Global Learning & Partnerships delivers nursing programs to accommodate the busy schedules of working nurses.

Although the department does not offer a generic four-year baccalaureate degree in Nursing, it does offer a degree completion program for graduates of Associate degree or Diploma programs who have passed the NCLEX or the licensure examination, are already licensed professional nurses, and wish to complete a BSN. Our undergraduate program is therefore known as an RN to BSN program. We also offer several MSN programs.

Philosophy of Nursing Education

The philosophy of the Department of Nursing at Rowan University emanates from nursing's founder, Florence Nightingale. The department's belief is that the interaction of person, environment, nurse and health are integral to maintaining and assisting individuals in achieving improved health status. The Nursing Department believes that nursing practice encompasses four domains that are evidence-based: clinical practice; leadership/executive practice; education practice; and research practice. In addition, the Nursing Department believes in excellent leadership that will advance nursing as well as shape policy in health care delivery systems. Finally, the Nursing Department further believes that innovation is integral to the improvement of nursing practice. The nursing faculty is committed to academic rigor, service, lifelong learning and continuous improvement.
