Thank you for your interest in SUNY Adirondack’s nursing program. Over the past few decades, our program has developed a hard-earned reputation for producing capable, diligent and highly trained professionals. As the chair of the program, I can tell you we achieve that by holding our students to the highest of standards. The rigorous nature of the program demands excellence at each step of the way — beginning with the application process and extending throughout coursework and clinical experiences. Our experienced nurse educators provide quality educational experiences that prepare our students to work in the ever-changing health care environment. Critical thinking and nursing judgment are fostered throughout the program, students practice and hone their skills in SUNY Adirondack’s state-of-the-art nursing simulation labs, and use all these experiences to provide direct patient care in regional hospitals. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, health care professional positions will grow by nearly 14 percent within the next decade. At SUNY Adirondack, we are proud to help the region’s health care field by developing our students into diligent, forward-thinking nurses."
