About

Boston College offers a comprehensive nursing education program that combines high-quality, evidence-based instruction with real-world experience and an emphasis on caring for the whole person. Nursing students learn about patient assessment, health promotion, and disease prevention in the classroom, then practice their skills in clinical settings. They learn to partner with patients and families to develop plans of care that address all aspects of a patient’s condition. The college’s nursing program provides a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, chemistry, nutrition, biochemistry, and pharmacology, as well as courses on patient safety, family dynamics, communication, ethics and critical thinking. In addition, all students must participate in clinical rotations in a variety of healthcare settings. These opportunities allow students to apply the knowledge they’ve acquired in the classroom and develop relationships with patients and practitioners. The Boston College School of Nursing also offers advanced programs leading to master’s and doctoral degrees. Through these programs, nurses gain expertise in areas such as acute and chronic care, public health, community health, nursing administration, research and evidence-based practice. Students have access to a wide range of nursing resources at Boston College, including a dedicated faculty and staff, state-of-the-art facilities, up-to-date technology, and a commitment to excellence in teaching and research. With a focus on holistic care and developing respectful partnerships with patients and families, BC’s nursing education programs prepare graduates to provide quality, compassionate care.
