THE COLLEGE OF NEW
ROCHELLE
SCHOOL OF NURSING RECEIVES
21st CONSECUTIVE FEDERAL TRAINEESHIP AWARD
NEW
ROCHELLE, NY, July 9, 2004 – The College of New Rochelle School of
Nursing (SN) today announced that it has been awarded the Advanced
Education Nursing Traineeship for $29,113 -- formerly called the
Nursing Traineeship Award -- from the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, Health Resources & Services Administration, Bureau
of Health Professions. For 21 consecutive years, SN has been a
recipient of this award which provides support for the training of
selected full-time graduate nursing students for the 2004-2005 academic
year.
“Such continued support is an indication of the federal government’s
high level of confidence in the education offerings of The College of
New Rochelle Graduate Nursing Program,” said Dr. Donna J. Demarest,
Dean of SN. “Federal projections indicate an increased demand for the
advanced practice nurse who provides leadership in clinical, research,
educational and administrative areas and we aspire to help meet that
demand.”
Established in 1976, the School of Nursing is widely recognized for
innovation and excellence in programming that is responsive to the
public’s changing health needs. The School offers six programs: a
traditional four-year undergraduate program leading to a bachelor of
science in nursing; an accelerated program of study for RNs seeking a
B.S.N.; an accelerated B.S.N. program for those holding degrees in
other fields; an accelerated RN to M.S. program; and an M.S. degree
program with tracks in holistic nursing, acute care nurse practitioner,
family nurse practitioner, and health care management. Post master’s
programs are available in all acute care tracks, HIV Aids, and the
Nurse Educator role.
The baccalaureate program at CNR prepares a nurse generalist who
practices in a variety of settings with clients of all ages from
diverse and multicultural populations. A CNR graduate is prepared to
assume beginning leadership roles and facilitate change to improve the
quality of client care in the health care system. The master’s program
prepares a nurse professional at advanced levels of practice in health
care management. Specialty options in the program provide opportunities
at all levels of advanced practice including health promotion and
restoration, disease prevention and provision of care in acute and
chronic illness.
