Studying the Nursing program offered by The University of Vermont, students prepare for professional nursing practice through a rigorous curriculum that promotes care of individuals with illness and emphasizes health and the prevention of disease. Experience caring for individuals and populations with a focus on exposure to diversity and individuals with special needs is provided. 

Clincal Experience

Clinical experience begins in the second semester of the sophomore year and continues throughout the program. Students benefit from 594 hours of direct faculty-supervised clinical instruction. In the clinical setting, students apply theoretical knowledge drawn from the arts and sciences and based on evidence. Junior-level students experience intensive and diverse clinical practice in the acute care setting. Senior students have an immersion in Public Health and model their clinical experience either domestically or on faculty-led foreign travel education. In the spring of the senior year, students select a 126-hour clinical practicum in a preferred area of interest.
