Nurses are the heart of the healthcare profession and Harford nursing students learn through a curriculum that includes both theory presentation and supervised clinical laboratory experience at affiliating healthcare agencies.
The healthcare industry needs heroes like you. Nursing is challenging, interesting, and makes a huge difference in people's daily lives. Considered a multi-faceted career in healthcare, nurses play an integral role in providing patient care. In fact, nurses spend more time with patients than any other healthcare profession. Harford nursing students practice in the Clinical Simulation Lab using high-fidelity simulation, allowing them to experience real-world scenarios in a simulated environment, and master the basic competencies required to pursue a career as a registered nurse.

WHAT CAN I DO WHEN I COMPLETE THIS PROGRAM?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of registered nurses is expected to grow 15 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations. Growth will occur primarily because of technological advancements, an increased emphasis on preventative care, and the large, aging baby-boomer population who will demand more healthcare services as they live longer and more active lives.
The median annual wage of registered nurses was $71,730* in May 2018.
