Erie Community College

Recent advances in science, medicine, and technology have resulted in new responsibilities and new requirements for today’s registered nurses. Nurses are essential members of the health care team, qualified to give client-centered, competent nursing care. Nurses today, dealing with people living in a complex, dynamic society, are concerned with the whole person-mind, body, and soul.

This curriculum combines nursing and general education courses with selected laboratory experiences, during which students provide nursing care to clients in hospitals and other health care facilities. Nursing courses cover medical/surgical, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, and psychiatric nursing. The nursing specific classes are complemented with studies in anatomy, physiology, nursing process, pharmacology, psychology, sociology, and composition. (Although the Nursing Curriculum is designed to be completed in two academic years, students may take a longer time to fulfill their degree requirements, depending on individual circumstances.)

Graduates find employment as registered nurses in hospitals, public health agencies, nursing homes, extended care facilities, home health care agencies, and other health care facilities.
