Welcome to Western Connecticut State University's Nursing Program!
WestConn's Nursing begins in a student's second-year sequence, or
the student's sophomore year. This provides the students with three full
years of nursing courses. We offer smaller class sizes and faculty are readily accessible
to students. WestConn’s nursing department has affiliations with many
health care agencies in the greater Danbury,
Waterbury
and New Haven
areas. WSCU nursing has one
of the highest pass rates for the NCLEX
in Connecticut. Our
graduates have gone on to be very successful in many areas of nursing
and are sought after by many employers in
Connecticut.
Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions regarding
our program. |
