Nursing
Nursing is one of the helping professions. If you're compassionate, calm and capable -- even in high-pressure situations -- then consider a career as a nurse. Many who choose nursing as a career find great fulfillment and satisfaction in their work. They also provide a great service to their communities.
Lewis University's undergraduate nursing program is fully accredited by the Commission for Collegiate Nursing Education. At Lewis, you will get a personalized learning environment, with individual attention from professors. Small class sizes encourage interactive discussions and participation from each student.

- Communicate effectively with patients and colleagues
- Show competence in varying roles as caregiver, educator and counselor
- Appreciate their responsibility for addressing social issues and community health concerns
- Be ready to take on a leadership role
When you complete the curriculum successfully, you will be awarded a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. You will then be eligible to take the national examination to be licensed as a Registered Professional Nurse.
