B.Sc. Nursing Program

B.Sc. (Nursing) degree is a broad-based undergraduate Nursing program within an academic framework specially directed to the development of critical thinking skills, competence, and standards required for the practice of professional nursing and midwifery. 

The program prepares its graduates to become exemplary citizens by adhering to a code of ethics and professional conduct at all times in fulfilling personal, social, and professional obligations so as to respond to national aspirations.

Graduate nurses are prepared to work as care providers, educators, coordinators, advocators, researchers, counselors & administrators.

The Department of Nursing at the American University of St. Vincent aspires to be a Centre of Excellence and innovation in nursing education. We are committed to preparing nursing students for thoughtful and productive lives of leadership and service as generalist nurses and members of the global nursing community.  The department spearheads the B.Sc. Nursing Program.  Students will learn to incorporate humanistic values and ethics into all areas of nursing, in order to know how to meet the needs of their future patients.

1. Ensure that students are well-grounded in Basic Nursing Sciences to equip them with the knowledge and skills that would enable them to assume responsibilities as competent nurses and midwives providing promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative services.
2. Prepare graduates to become nurses who can make independent decisions in nursing situations, protect the rights of and facilitate individuals and groups in pursuit of health, functions in the hospital, and community nursing services, and conduct research studies in the areas of nursing practice.
3. Ensure that students understand Nursing and Midwifery within the framework of different social, economic, and cultural situations to address the health needs of diverse patients, families, and communities.
4. Inculcate students of the University with problem-solving, critical thinking, research, and clinical judgment skills for effective translation into clinical practice.
5. Produce graduates with a strong moral and ethical basis for the practice of professional nursing and midwifery.
