The Program: The Department of Nursing is an applied health discipline that deals with the health status of individuals, families, and society. Nursing includes getting to know people and performing the care and practices they need in health and sickness that they experience throughout life. The Department of Nursing gives four-year undergraduate and graduate education to teach professional knowledge and skills to students. In the first three years of the four-year program, theoretical and practical education is provided together, and the education also includes internship practices to enable students to transfer the knowledge they have gained in previous years into practice and thus prepare for professional life after graduation.

The primary goal of our nursing department is to educate nurses who have the competency to protect and improve the health of the individual and society and to plan, implement, and evaluate the nursing care in light of evidence-based practices in case of sickness, who can think critically and combine academic excellence and research elements, and who have leadership qualities and maintain lifelong learning responsibility.
