About the Department
The Nursing department curriculum offers graduates essential privileges in relation to the targeted characteristics. This department aims to train nurses who develop nursing practices through critical thinking and research, work as an active member of the healthcare team, provide nursing care services in health, disease prevention, treatment, and supportive qualities through individual, family, and collective "Planned Nursing Care". In addition to the compulsory courses offered to the students according to the program’s learning objectives, elective courses are also offered for the student’s selection so that they are equipped for both professional and personal development in accordance with their interests. Students also have the opportunity to experience many professional skills in a well-equipped laboratory environment.

Educational Opportunities
Training is conducted in the form of theoretical, pre-clinical skill and clinical training. There are fully equipped skill laboratories in the department. In the laboratories, there are adult models allowing basic nursing practices, a simulation model for cardiopulmonary massage, pregnancy simulation models for delivery practices, a neonatal care and practice model, incubator, part models, skeleton, anatomy models, sphygmomanometer, aspirator, and chest tube drainage device available.

Career Areas
Nurses can work in the governmental and private health sector (hospitals, rehabilitation centers, elderly care homes, nursing homes, family, and community health centers) as nurses or as a chief nurse of units or hospitals. The Nurses' working areas are changing and expanding with the changing health care needs and population structure around the world.
