Our Nursing program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN). This program combines nursing theory with a variety of real-world clinical experiences in rural, community and tertiary healthcare systems. Unique to associate degree programs in WNY, the final semester includes a four-week capstone experience with an RN preceptor in one of our affiliated health care settings. We also have an Advanced Placement program for LPN to RN students. Our Nursing program has an NCLEX pass rate that is well above both the New York State and National averages.

The Antoinette Marchese Clancy School of Nursing is a state-of-the-art facility where instructors utilize up to date simulation technology and manikins, organized and well equipped skills labs and Hyflex video conferencing in each of our classrooms.

You can look forward to teaching fundamentals in your first semester, with the opportunity to serve as course coordinator and a mentor for adjunct instructors in the future.
