Program Highlights
Location, Location, Location: Emmanuel's home in the Longwood Medical and Academic Area (LMA) pf Boston affords convenient access and developing partnerships with neighborhood institutions such as Harvard Medical School, Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Joslin Diabetes Center.
State-of-the-Art Facilities: In addition to laboratories in the Maureen Murphy Wilkens Science Center, nursing students further their practice in Emmanuel's brand new, state-of-the-art Nursing Laboratory, which features 12 skills beds and two simulation labs for hands-on learning.
Jump Right In: As a nursing student, you will launch into your nursing coursework as early as your first semester, with a first-year nursing seminar that will assist you in acquiring the essential skills, techniques and behaviors that will lead to success as a student, a lifelong learner and a beginning member of the nursing profession. You'll have access to nursing faculty right away and will also be guided by both an academic advisor and a nursing faculty advisor.
Clinical Experiences: Emmanuel's nursing program prepares students to be generalists in the nursing field. Every nursing student will have clinical experiences across nursing specialties including medical surgical, mental health, pediatrics, maternity/women's health and community nursing. The program culminates in the Nursing Capstone, during which each student will work one-on-one with a practicing registered nurse.
Even with just one semester under my belt, I can tell that Emmanuel's Nursing program is leading me down the right path. Knowing that I am meant to be at Emmanuel College, and in this program, has rid me of any uncertainties I had leaving high school and entering college. I can feel myself becoming more socially aware and learning to see each patient, and person, as their own unique individual.

Program Goals
Upon completion of this program, you will:
- Expand a personal philosophy of nursing through reflection on the Catholic intellectual tradition to effect positive outcomes for care-recipients within the context of their environments.
- Assume accountability for evidence and knowledge-based nursing practice and responsibility for involvement as a citizen knowledgeable in inter-professional health care systems.
- Practice as a professional nurse whose care-giving activities reflect the analysis of theoretical knowledge from the liberal arts, sciences, nursing and evidence-based practice.
- Integrate into the culture of nursing the concepts of caring that foster a relationship between caregiver and care-recipient that results in the achievement of mutually agreed upon outcomes on the health/illness continuum.
