Supported by outstanding faculty and new simulation laboratories, classrooms, and learning laboratories, the School of Nursing offers you an environment that encourages achievement and growth. Clinical affiliations with academic medical centers, such as Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and the University of Vermont Medical Center, as well as community hospitals and clinical sites provide our majors with excellent clinical resources and experiential learning environments. Our students use a variety of technological applications in the classroom and in clinical settings, including electronic health records, handheld PDAs, and innovative applications for accessing timely clinical information.
Demand for qualified graduates of undergraduate nursing schools far outstrips the ability of universities to supply them. Our graduates are well-prepared for a strong job market upon graduation. Norwich nursing majors have opportunities to develop skills in a wide array of institutional settings, including two academic medical centers, several critical-access rural hospitals, a VA hospital, and a variety of community settings. In addition, ROTC nursing students work at top U.S. Army and Navy hospitals and at facilities around the world during their summer internships.
The baccalaureate degree in nursing at Norwich University is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (www.aacn.nche.edu/cce-accrediation). The program is also approved by the Vermont Board of Nursing.
