Successful nurses are compassionate caregivers, effective communicators, team-players, lifelong learners and patient advocates. Explore this fast-paced, rewarding career and become part of something special!
The Pre-Nursing program at Polaris has far exceeded my expectations in providing me with some great insight into the responsibilities needed to pursue a career in nursing. The program has made me realize that the healthcare profession is the right path for me.”
Nurses are the backbone of every hospital, doctor’s office and clinic – they provide vital patient care and are the unsung heroes of every practice….and they’re in-demand like never before!
As a Pre-Nursing student, you will learn to monitor patients’ conditions and assess their needs to provide the best possible care and support; observe and interpret patients’ symptoms and communicate them to physicians; collaborate with physicians and nurses to devise individualized care plans for patients; perform routine procedures (blood pressure measurements, administering injections, etc.); and many other important responsibilities. All of this will take place in our new state-of-the-art labs and classrooms.
*Please note: students applying to this program will be placed in either Medical Professions or Pre-Nursing based on their transcript and other criteria.
