Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University's nursing programs prepare you to fulfill diverse roles including practitioner, communicator, collaborator, and leader. Through coursework and hands-on clinical training, you'll develop the skills to provide culturally competent care for patients with varied backgrounds and healthcare needs. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program spans four years, starting with foundational liberal arts courses that can be completed at another institution before transitioning to nursing-specific coursework and clinical rotations at FAMU-affiliated hospitals and clinics. Graduates emerge prepared for entry-level nursing positions.
This four-year degree program culminates in a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and features a two-phase curriculum: (1) pre-professional coursework that can be fulfilled at community colleges or other universities.
The curriculum blends liberal arts education with essential nursing theory and scientific principles, equipping students for professional nursing practice while establishing a foundation for future clinical specialization.
Students apply nursing theory through comprehensive clinical rotations across various healthcare settings, from major hospitals to community clinics and home healthcare environments. The program's structure pairs nursing theory courses - which explore health science and disease processes - with concurrent clinical courses that allow immediate practical application of learned concepts in real-world healthcare settings.
