College of Nursing

A 2022 study from the Health Resources and Services Administration found that New Jersey is among the top ten states projected to experience the largest nursing shortage by 2035 - a nearly 12% gap in the RN workforce.

With that reality in mind, we feel a true obligation to educate and prepare the next generation of nurses at Seton Hall.

Philanthropic support makes this possible by providing scholarships for more BSN students, and especially for our accelerated BSN students who are earning a second bachelor's degree and aren't eligible for the same loan programs as graduate students.

Additionally, investment in graduate scholarships helps us create opportunities for advanced study and research, empowering nurses to take on leadership, clinical, or academic roles that shape the healthcare landscape.

By reducing financial barriers, scholarships attract highly qualified students committed to addressing the nation's healthcare challenges.

With additional philanthropic support, the College plans to grow its experiential learning offerings by:

• Expanding interdisciplinary simulation spaces designed to mirror real-world hospital environments;
• Providing financial support for international study opportunities; and
• Increasing clinical partnerships to broaden learning experiences in diverse healthcare settings.
  
  

These types of hands-on opportunities give our future nurses the confidence and competence they need to step into their roles as healthcare professionals from day one.

Every nurse we educate goes on to touch countless lives. Therefore, ensuring our students have access to the best professors is of critical importance. With philanthropic support, the College of Nursing can add more faculty positions, program directors, and research support.
