Department of Nursing
The Department of Nursing develops professionals who are liberally educated, ethically grounded, clinically competent providers of health care, committed to serving others and promoting social justice regardless of the population served.
Our graduates are prepared to practice competently in a variety of settings across the lifespan and along the continuum of health.
In our undergraduate programs, you'll learn to deliver personalized, high-quality and safe nursing care that considers patients' unique needs, values and preferences. Graduates of our master’s degree and post-master’s certificate programs are eligible to take national certification examinations, while our Doctor of Nursing Practice program prepares graduates for roles as advanced practice nurses, quality improvement managers, health care executives, clinical program directors and educators.
The baccalaureate degree programs in nursing, master’s degree program in nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice program at Salve Regina University are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. These programs are also accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education.
