Deliver Passionate, Patient-Centered Care
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Nursing program at UMass Lowell provides students with the knowledge, skills and hands-on experience to deliver passionate, patient-centered care. Learn how to apply ethical principles and legal requirements in the delivery of care, develop therapeutic relationships with individuals and groups and promote health in diverse populations.
As a student in our program, you'll build skills and confidence in the Donna Manning Simulation Laboratories. By interacting with high-fidelity adult, pediatric and maternal manikins or simulated patients (trained actors), you'll develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills before advancing to your clinical rotations.
From Interprofessional Education (IPE) activities, you'll learn how to work in teams with students from different disciplines such as dietetics, public health, exercise physiology, physical therapy and pharmacy.
During your senior year, you'll experience a semester of immersion in the nursing specialty area of your choice, working one-on-one with an expert nurse preceptor.
Upon successful completion of the program, you will be eligible to sit for the Board of Registration in Nursing’s National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurse (NCLEX) examination for licensure as a registered nurse (RN).
