A program of experiences is designed to prepare the student as a citizen and a beginning practitioner of nursing. These practitioners have knowledge of the basic physical, biological, behavioral and medical sciences; plus the ability and skill to apply this knowledge in caring for patients with common recurring problems in nursing situations where there is supervision by the experienced professional nurse. The Nursing Program at Weber State College campus offers a career ladder curriculum.
