More Than a Nurse. A Hero.
As a nurse, you are often on the front lines of health care—from combating a global pandemic, to providing care for those with chronic conditions, or helping advance medical research and treatments. Nurses make the world a better place. Nova Southeastern University's Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing prepares you to become a confident, capable, and caring nursing professional.
You’ll also benefit from NSU’s interdisciplinary approach to medical education, which includes collaboration among nursing students and those in other health care-related programs. You’ll thrive as part of a patient’s health care team—delivering the best possible care while setting yourself up for success as a nursing professional.
Make a difference in the world with a nursing degree from NSU.
We have lots of clinical hours, so we get to see what nurses do in real life, instead of just reading about it in textbooks.
