The Castleton University Nursing program prepares you to think and act like a professional registered nurse (RN). Thinking and acting like an RN requires strong clinical judgment and clinical reasoning skills.
Baccalaureate preparation is viewed as the foundation upon which a future career in practice, advanced nursing practice, education, public health, research, informatics, policy, and/or leadership may be built.
