Undergraduate Programs
The baccalaureate program in Nursing is designed exclusively to serve licensed registered nurses from state-approved associate degree or diploma nursing programs who are prepared to focus on their professional and career development. The curricular emphases on health promotion and maintenance behaviors, coordinating cost-effective quality care, and community-based, community focused health care are particularly appropriate to achieving the future's agenda. The Health Information Management program is designed to prepare graduates for the rapidly growing field of health information management. Professional courses include: health information science, health information terminology, computer applications in health information administration, and evaluation of health care systems. Both Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and the Bachelor of Professional Studies (B.P.S.) degrees in health information management are available at SUNYIT. Clinical ApplicationNursing students of the School of Nursing and Health Systems test nursing principles in real-life situations at a wide variety of health care settings, including hospitals, health care agencies, community based and community focused programs. These clinical experiences are designed with working registered nurses in mind, allowing them to earn their degrees as conveniently as possible.MissionThe mission of the School of Nursing and Health Systems is to provide a nursing education at the baccalaureate and master's levels that focuses on collaboration, active participation in one's own learning, critical reflection, and creative practice to meet the needs of clients across the lifespan. Nursing education is built upon a general education of the arts and sciences that complements professional education in: nursing knowledge and theory; inquiry and research; leadership and community; nursing standards and professional practice.Vision StatementThe School of Nursing and Health Systems faculty aspire to professional excellence in teaching, practice, scholarship, and service to SUNYIT and the communities of Central and Upstate New York. Our vision is to be a community of nurse scholars and mentors guiding professional nurses as nurse leaders and advanced practitioners who are committed to professional ideals, lifelong learning, and meaningful practice within increasingly technological health care systems and communities.R.N.
