Bachelor of Science in Nursing
Preparing leaders for one of the most in-demand professions in the nation—the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects nursing jobs to increase 26 percent by 2020—our B.S. in Nursing helps meet that demand. Our program provides nurses with the knowledge and skills to assume influential roles in healthcare that extend beyond traditional practices and healthcare facilities. Our graduates possess the expertise, values and vision to serve their communities as highly qualified caregivers and leaders in the profession.
Accelerated BSN
Looking to change careers? Let us put you on a fast track to success. Our Professional Acceleration to Healthcare (PATH) program allows students who have a bachelor’s degree in a field other than nursing to complete our B.S. in Nursing program in 14 months. Studying full time, you will begin in a cohort and advance in the program with your peers while learning from dedicated faculty who offer a comprehensive approach to the didactic, clinical and research components of the program. The PATH program only offers a summer start, and the application deadline is January 15. Specific criteria are required for admission, including prerequisite courses, which must be successfully completed by the time a candidate applies to the program.
RN-BSN
Our R.N. to B.S. in Nursing was designed with you, the working nurse, in mind. As a registered nurse, you seek to advance through the profession, as well as complete your educational goals. Our convenient program allows you to fulfill those aspirations with classes scheduled generally one day a week and online (starting Fall 2013).
Master of Science in Nursing
The master’s in nursing programs facilitate the student’s transition into advanced practice nursing roles, specifically the roles of nurse educator, nurse practitioner and nursing administrator. We foster the professional development necessary for providing leadership in the delivery of healthcare, and provide a foundation for doctoral study. At the master’s level, nursing education is concentrated on increasing specialization in the diverse theoretical nursing foundations and specialization in advanced nursing practice. We expect that our graduates will contribute to the development of nursing as a profession through the development, implementation and evaluation of advanced practice roles.
PhD in Nursing
The program will prepare you to advance knowledge of the discipline and contribute to the science of nursing. Through teaching, research and leadership, you will advance health through innovation and information while discussing and debating a broad range of theories. The Ph.D. in Nursing may be taken on a full-time (9 credits per semester) or part-time basis (6 credits per semester). Courses are offered in executive format one day a week. Students are admitted only in the fall semester and proceed through the program in cohorts. A seminar format is used for most nursing courses.

Clinical experience, an essential part of each nursing course, further enables students to gain technical competence to apply theoretical knowledge with practice. During the first year, there is one seven-hour clinical lab a week; during the second year, there are two seven-hour labs weekly.Transportation to selected clinical sites will be provided/available. The nursing program is designed to be completed in two academic years, but may be revised to meet individual needs. Licensed practical nurses or transfer students from other nursing programs may be eligible for advanced placement.

Nurses from the Champlain Valley Hospital Nursing Program played a vital role in health care for Plattsburgh and the outlying areas. In 1977, the diploma program moved to Clinton Community College and became a two year associate degree nursing program. •
Many of our graduates start work toward a higher degree through transferring straight into a four year program and earning a bachelor's degree in another two years. We have formal articulation agreements with several senior colleges, however the nursing program will transfer to most senior colleges without any difficulty. Each year 70 new students are admitted to the two year Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Nursing Program. Admission into the Nursing Program is selective and requires a separate application along with the general college application. Applicants are selected who demonstrate a strong background in math and science and who we believe will be successful in the educational programs.

The M.S. in Advanced Practice Nursing offers 3 programs of study:
•Family Nurse Practitioner (F.N.P.): qualifies you to seek certification and employment as a Family Nurse Practitioner.
•Clinical Nurse Specialist (C.N.S.): qualifies you to seek certification as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in a Maternal/Child or Adult/Gerontology clinical specialty.
•Nurse Educator (N.E.): qualifies you to seek certification as a Certified Nurse Educator and practice in faculty roles and staff development.
Doctor of Nursing Practice
The Doctor of Nursing Practice Program is an advanced practice clinical doctorate, which reflects the evolution and development of professional nursing. The Doctor of Nursing Practice Program is designed with two entry points. At the onset of the program, it is anticipated that the demand for the program will be at the post-master’s degree entry point. However, as the educational preparation for advanced practice nurses changes to a minimum of DPN for practice, it is anticipated that the admission point will be the post-baccalaureate entry point. The post-master’s entry is a 48-credit, two-year program. The post-baccalaureate entry is a minimum of 72 credits, three-and-a-half-year program. Students seeking admission to the DNP Program, who hold a master’s degree, will need to have advanced practice specialization as a nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, nurse midwife, or nurse anesthetist. Students seeking admission at the post-baccalaureate level will, as part of their program, be prepared as either a nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist through the educational offerings of the Wegmans School of Nursing.

Our Nurse Practitioner programs are consistently ranked among the finest in the nation. In fact, our Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Program is ranked 10th in the nation in U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate School rankings. Most of our students are practicing nurses who want to refine their skills and broaden their opportunities. All of them are committed professionals dedicated to providing the best possible care to patients. We have nurses who are fairly new to the profession and those with many years of experience. This combination creates a dynamic environment where students learn form each other and build networks and lasting professional relationships.

DNP studies will help students develop sophisticated critical thinking, strategic planning, communication, process management and leadership skills. Students will complete approximately two and one-half years of post-master's coursework.
The PhD in Health Practice Research program is open to nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and clinical social workers who hold Master’s degrees in their clinical fields. It is designed to prepare students for academic and research leadership roles within health care and educational settings.
MS-PhD accelerated and combined programs are for RNs with baccalaureate degrees in nursing who want careers in teaching/research or practice/research. The program simultaneously offers Master’s preparation in one of seven nurse practitioner specialty areas and advanced research training at the doctoral level. MS and PhD courses are taken in a very rigorous 3 years of full-time enrollment, after which the MS degree is awarded. The student then continues to complete the PhD dissertation proposal and research. The full program can be completed in 5 years of full-time effort.
