| Better Graduates. Better Demand. |
| Carlow graduates are: |
| • |
better prepared for professional work life |
| • |
better prepared for nursing care delivery |
| • |
better critical thinkers |
| For our graduates, this translates to a better pay scale. |
| Better Nursing Labs |
| • |
Carlow believes in full simulation. |
| • |
Our Morris Center for Assessment offers our students two get-acquainted visits where each student is assigned a training partner. |
| • |
Our training equipment includes both dummies and models for better training in patient care. |
| • |
Carlow has specialized equipment that repeats the sounds of the human heart. |
| • |
Training partners will have extensive interaction, allowing you both to learn from one another and as a team. |
| Better Academic Challenges |
| • |
Carlow offers the Step-Ahead program allowing qualified undergraduate students to enroll for up to graduate credits at no additional cost. |
| • |
Carlow's nursing program requires you to take more than the required number of biology credits. Later you can minor if you want to go into a specialized type of health care program. |
| • |
Carlow more adequately prepares you for nursing certification exams. |
| Better Experiences as a Leader |
| • |
Carlow seniors travel to Harrisburg to meet policy makers, so our students are better informed in their field. |
| • |
Carlow nursing students learn ethics and community awareness, as well as how to be sensitive to the needs of different cultural groups other than their own. As a freshman, for example, you will have the opportunity to travel to area elementary schools and perform a puppet show to promote opportunities in the health care field. |
| • |
You can be enrolled in Carlow's nursing program and still participate in sports and extra-curricular activities. |
| Better Instruction |
| • |
Carlow doesn't use teaching assistants. This means that you will never be placed in a position to teach yourself. At Carlow, you have attention from your instructor. Help is here, and you belong! |
| Better than a Two-Year Program |
| Unlike two-year programs, at Carlow, you will: |
| • |
Receive MORE in-depth knowledge about the disease process and the giving of medications. |
| • |
Stay ahead of the psychology of helping people, and learn how best to help those from different cultures. |
| • |
Move beyond entry-level and have opportunities for advancement and pay increases. |
