Why Major in Nursing at New York Tech?
Gain boots-on-the-ground training in diverse clinical placements, and ready yourself for a career as a leader in the nursing field. Learn to practice with patients across their lifespan while respecting individual variations, complexities, and resources needed for individualized care.
