Nursing

Nursing is a versatile field in which someone in mid-career can explore different areas of practice, choose to enter advanced practice nursing (NP), or work in nurse education.

In keeping with its focus as a liberal arts institution, Gordon does not have a nursing program. However, if you are interested in nursing, there is no better place to get the pre-nursing courses you will need to be well prepared for a nursing program. Gordon students have had success in finding accelerated nursing programs after graduating as Biology or Psychology majors.

Pre-nursing coursework should include additional courses in social science, psychology, and biological science. Track 2: Prenursing under Gordon's Health Professions Program lists the following

• BIO150 Biology I: Cells and Genetics
• CHE111,112 Principles of Chemistry I, II
• BIO/KIN 213, 214 Human Anatomy and Physiology I, II
• BIO314 Microbiology (Prerequisite: BIO150 Cells and Genetics)
• MAT220 Biostatistics
• BIO225 Nutrition
• Two semesters of writing
• Recommended Health Professions Seminars I-IV (taken in sophomore and junior years)

Note: Some programs require additional psychology courses to cover the human lifespan.

*For complete course descriptions, please see the Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics course listings.
