Whether entering UB as a freshman or transferring from another institution, the BASIC nursing program will prepare graduates to sit for the RN licensing exam and pursue positions in a wide array of health care settings. Graduates of the BASIC program are well prepared for community based nursing care experienced in both hospital and community settings. A curriculum encompassing biomedical and social sciences, clinical nursing, and University General Education courses insures that students have both the professional education and broad skills to assume nursing positions throughout the health care spectrum and eventually move on to leadership roles.
Recent graduates have achieved nearly 100% success in either obtaining employment or pursuing graduate school, with many reporting multiple offers. Graduates have accepted positions in Western New York, metropolitan New York City, the Syracuse area, and several other states. Salaries range from the low $40,000 to mid $60,000 depending on the geographic area.
The BASIC nursing curriculum begins with biomedical and social science courses taken as prerequisites to the clinical upper division program of study. The courses are indicated below. Freshmen entering UB as nursing majors will complete these courses during the first two years of study while they also complete the university General Education requirements.
Students entering with transfer credit from other institutions may be able to use those courses to satisfy requirements if they are determined to be equivalent. Equivalent courses may be found at http://taurus.buffalo.edu.
Courses not found in Taurus can be submitted to Transfer and Articulation Services, Fargo 104, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY 14261- 0050, 716-645-2288 or email: taurus@buffalo.edu.
