| Welcome to the website for the Department of Nursing and Allied Health. We are very excited that you have chosen to explore our University, and our programs, for potential career education. Nursing and Allied Health program offerings include Medical Radiography, Mortuary Science, Nursing, and Respiratory Therapy. All of our programs are nationally accredited and the nursing programs are approved by the DC Board of Nursing. |
| Students considering our programs are encouraged to prepare for a challenging experience of study that requires consistent discipline, focus, and scholarly work. In addition, the RN-BSN curriculum is designed to provide registered nurses theory and practicum opportunities for leadership roles, nursing research, and/or graduate education. This is truly a “new day and a new opportunity” for us and it can be for you. All of the programs previously identified are offered at the associate degree level, except for nursing. The nursing program has offerings at the certificate, associate, and bachelor degree levels. Therefore, please continue to review each program’s curriculum of study, and know that we have plans for continued growth, diversification, and excellence within our department. |
| It is my vision to become a model School of Nursing and Allied Health Professions, providing evidence based training for a variety of health care disciplines at the certificate, associate, and bachelor degree levels. In addition, I envision meeting a critical need for Nurse Educators with the establishment of a Masters Level Program for Nurse Educators. It is critical to provide the healthcare workforce opportunities for cross training and career mobility, in addition to meeting a workforce shortage. I envision the University of the District of Columbia meeting these needs. We have already started to lay the ground work through major collaborations with other universities and health care facilities, and with plans to add bachelor level and specialty courses to our allied health programs. |
The faculty and I applaud you, if you are considering health care as a career choice. Health care is a rewarding profession that can bring great pride, personal, and professional satisfaction. Curricula for all programs in the Department of Nursing and Allied Health are designed to provide the knowledge and clinical competence required for twenty-first century practitioners. We work to facilitate a transformation from dedicated students into competent practitioners in a student centered environment. That practitioner can be you!
In closing, I encourage you to consider nursing education at the University of the District of Columbia, and we will strive to make all of your educational and professional aspirations become reality.
