As an Northeastern nursing student you will be learning from faculty who continue to practice in their specialty areas. You will apply your classroom learning in a wide array of health care settings such as Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston Medical Center, Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Tufts-New England Medical Center, and dozens more. You will also learn how to provide care to people in their homes and communities through placements at the VNA Care Network, Boston Public Health Commission, Boston Healthcare for the Homeless, and many others. Your clinical rotations in hospital and community settings will equip you to pursue employment in any specialization after graduation. 
 
The School of Nursing has over 40 years' experience providing cooperative education for nursing students. You will not find this opportunity anywhere else. Undergraduate students and direct entry students complete their co-op experiences in many of the settings we use for clinical rotations. These institutions are eager to hire nursing students for co-ops and work closely with you to support your learning and professional growth. There are also opportunities to develop co-ops in other areas of the US or abroad.

If you are coming to the School of Nursing for graduate study, your learning also will be guided by our practice-oriented, urban focus. Faculty who teach graduate courses are expert advance practice nurses in their respective specialty areas. Our affiliation with over 100 institutions means that you and the faculty can select the best place for your clinical rotations. By the time you graduate you will have studied at world-renowned health care institutions and learned from leaders in nursing. 
 
All nursing students benefit from the faculty's involvement in research. Through the Honors Program, undergraduate students who are interested in research can work directly with a faculty member to make new discoveries to improve patient care. Graduate students can work with our researchers as research assistants and complete required course assignments through participation in their research studies. Our faculty are making discoveries that will lead to better care of the physical and mental health of children, adolescents, adults, and elders. 
 
In the fall of 2007, the School of Nursing enrolled its first students in the PhD program, which emphasizes clinical research, education, and health promotion in urban and underserved populations.
