Message from the Dean

This is an exciting time to be a student in any of our programs. Nurses are in great demand everywhere! A doctorate degree prepares you for an amazing number of exciting career opportunities.

Why are nurses in such demand?

The explosion of knowledge and opportunities is at an all time high. The science of health care has expanded phenomenally in the past five years. The economic changes in health care impact nursing in several ways. Patients are in the hospital for increasingly complex diagnostic and treatment procedures. These factors mean that more nurses are needed. More nurses are also needed to work with patients outside the hospital setting. Nurses have important work in schools, clinics, public health agencies and other setting to prevent illness before they occur or assist patients and families after a hospitalization. Nurses with master’s degrees such as nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists have been demonstrated to provide high quality and cost effective health care. These nurses are also in great demand.

Why get a degree at CSS?

We have a long and illustrious reputation for excellence. We have access to hundreds of clinical sites, large and small, rural and urban, hospitals and community centers. We have students in nursing, English, physical therapy, psychology, occupational therapy, social work, exercise physiology, management, health information management, and many other majors or graduate programs all learning together. The time is right to start or expand your nursing career. We hope you’ll take a good look at what we’re doing and consider CSS in your future.

“Nursing is the nation’s largest health care profession, with more than 2.9 million registered nurses nationwide” (aacn.nche.edu). Nurses hold independent licenses and work collaboratively with other health care disciplines in roles that include direct patient care, case management, supervision, administration, education and research. Having the baccalaureate degree with a major in nursing is the critical first step for a career in professional nursing. The nurse with a baccalaureate degree (BSN) is the only nursing graduate who is prepared to practice in all health care settings. As nursing and health care delivery expands, opportunities increase outside the traditional setting of the hospital. In 2003 approximately 60% of all employed RNs work in hospitals. This means that 40% of nurses work in other settings.

Nurses practice in a variety of healthcare settings and in roles focusing on health promotion, illness prevention and restorative care. Nurses have many and varied employment opportunities. They range from staff nursing in critical care settings to long term care institutions and community and government agencies including the armed services.
