Two New Colleges at NSU to Hold Recognition Reception
Nova Southeastern University’s College of Nursing and College of Health Care Sciences will hold a Private Reception on Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 5:00 pm.
This event is by invitation only.
Formally a part of NSU’s College of Allied Health and Nursing, the new colleges were launched in January because of their growth and success over the last five years.
The College of Health Care Sciences will continue to serve 2,500 students at NSU’s main campus and SECs in Miami, Palm Beach, Ft. Myers, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville. It will continue to provide degree programs in occupational therapy, anesthesiologist assistant, vascular sonography, audiology, physician assistant, health science, physical therapy, health sciences, and cardiovascular sonography programs. It’s the largest provider of entry-level physician assistant (PA) education and the second largest provider of entry-level doctor of audiology (Au.D.) education in the U.S. The college launched the first anesthesiologist assistant (AA) program in Florida and the 5th in the nation. The college is also the largest provider of entry-level AA education in the U.S.
The College of Nursing will continue to serve 1,200 students at NSU’s main campus in Davie and its Student Educational Centers (SECs) in Miami, Palm Beach, Ft. Myers, and Orlando. It offers programs that not only assist non-nurses to achieve licensure but also offers options for all levels of degree programs for current nurses to enhance their educational status. The college is one of the most comprehensive providers of nursing education in the Southeast U.S.
Nursing features an entry-level B.S.N., R.N. to B.S.N., R.N. to M.S.N, an online M.S.N. in nursing education and health systems leadership, an M.S.N. advanced practice registered nurse program in family nurse practitioner (FNP), a doctor of nursing practice (DNP) and an interdisciplinary nursing Ph.D. program in nursing education.
