Bacharelado em Enfermagem

The purpose of the baccalaureate program is to prepare a professional nurse whose practice is based upon nursing science, related sciences, and the arts to promote, restore, and maintain human beings' health. Graduates of the program are generalists with the necessary base for graduate education and continuing professional development.

The program provides a foundation for graduate education in nursing and serves as a stimulus for professional development. A series of National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) Preparation Practice Tests are integrated throughout the nursing program. A Diagnostic Prep, a Predictor exam, and a 3-day NCLEX Review are scheduled at the end of the program to provide students with prep resources to take the National Nursing License.

The School of Nursing is dedicated to providing students with the educational foundation to conduct evidence-based practice, engage in scholarly activities, and translate knowledge to improve healthcare delivery. Our graduates possess appraisal/thinking skills, sophisticated clinical practice knowledge, and the ability to integrate research to provide thorough patient care.

The University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing, founded in 1939, is one of the oldest programs in baccalaureate and doctoral education in nursing in the United States. As one of the nation’s distinguished schools of nursing, the school's resources constitute an invaluable asset for the intellectual, scientific, and economic enrichment of health care in Pennsylvania, the nation, and throughout the world.
