THE COLLEGE OF NEW ROCHELLE
SCHOOL OF NURSING
RECEIVES 22nd CONSECUTIVE FEDERAL TRAINEESHIP AWARD
NEW ROCHELLE, NY, July 13, 2005 – The College of New
Rochelle School of Nursing (SN) today announced that it has been
awarded the Advanced Education Nursing Traineeship for $26,027 --
formerly called the Nursing Traineeship Award -- from the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources &
Services Administration, Bureau of Health Professions. For 22
consecutive years, SN has been a recipient of this award which provides
support for the training of selected full-time graduate nursing
students for the 2005-2006 academic year.
“Such continued support is an indication of the federal
government’s high level of confidence in the education offerings of The
College of New Rochelle Graduate Nursing Program,” said Dr. Donna J.
Demarest, Dean of SN. “Federal projections indicate an increased
demand for the advanced practice nurse who provides leadership in
clinical, research, educational and administrative areas and we aspire
to help meet that demand.”
Established in 1976, the School of Nursing 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; 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, and health care
management. Post master’s programs are available in all acute
care tracks, HIV Aids, and the Nurse Educator role.
The baccalaureate program at CNR prepares a nurse
generalist who practices in a variety of settings with clients of all
ages from diverse and multicultural populations. A CNR graduate is
prepared to assume beginning leadership roles and facilitate change to
improve the quality of client care in the health care system. The
master’s program prepares a nurse professional at advanced levels of
practice in health care management. Specialty options in the program
provide opportunities at all levels of advanced practice including
health promotion and restoration, disease prevention and provision of
care in acute and chronic illness.
