Baccalaureate preparation in nursing is the basic educational level for entry into professional nursing practice, building on knowledge acquired from the humanities, biological, physical, social, and behavioral sciences. The Lees-McRae Nursing program provides foundational education through both academic and professional nursing courses that support the provision of patient-centered, safe, quality care in today’s health care industry settings.
Under the guidance of expert nursing faculty, you will be provided opportunities to gain relevant, hands-on experience and challenged to develop understanding and critical thinking that will support your success as a professional nurse. Our smaller class sizes facilitate close student-faculty relationships where students and faculty know each other by name. Clinical student-faculty ratios of 8:1 facilitate quality engagement and support in the 1,100 hours spent in the clinical setting.
