We prepare you to care for patients who are seriously ill and facing life-threatening problems due to trauma, illness or major surgery. Whether patients are injured or in failing health, part of this care is supporting patients' families who are going through difficult and stressful times. It can be a demanding and challenging career, yet very rewarding. Our graduates have the passion and commitment to provide excellence in critical care nursing practice. |
