Established in 1976,
the School of Nursing at The College of New
Rochelle is widely recognized for innovation and excellence in
programming that is responsive to the public’s changing health needs.
The School offers six programs: a traditional four-year undergraduate
program leading to a bachelor of science in nursing; a traditional and
an accelerated program of study for RNs seeking a B.S.N.; an
accelerated B.S.N. program for those holding degrees in other fields;
an accelerated RN to M.S. program; and an M.S. degree program with
tracks in holistic nursing, acute care nurse practitioner, family nurse
practitioner, nursing and health care management, and nursing
education. Post master’s programs are available in all tracks, as well
as in Palliative Care. The faculty believes that nursing as a
service profession has a primary responsibility to address the
healthcare needs of individuals, families and groups in the community,
and the School’s programs of academic excellence prepare professional
nurses and advanced practice nurses to service diverse and
multicultural populations.
In 1993, the School of Nursing became the first in
the country to offer a graduate degree in holistic nursing. CNR
revamped its entire master’s degree program in 2004 to ensure that all
of its graduate programs integrate holistic philosophy and principles.
Master’s programs in nursing education and nursing and health care
management, as well as a post-master’s certificate in palliative care
have all been launched recently to address increased national demand
for professional development in the nursing field.
Since its opening 30
years ago, the School of Nursing has graduated
more than 2,500 women and men who have gone on to positively impact the
healthcare field, including such outstanding alumnae as Catherine
Graham BSN '96, MS ’02, Senior VP/Director of Nursing, Saint Barnabas
Hospital, and Ana Marie Balingit-Wines '81, Chief Nurse, U.S.
Department of Homeland Security National Disaster Medical System, FEMA.
“Our success is
attributable, I believe, to the support of strong and
visionary leadership, a stellar, committed faculty and graduates who
have taken to heart our mission of education for service and truly made
a difference in the lives of others,” says Mary Alice Donius, R.N.,
Ed.D, Dean of the School of Nursing at CNR.
