The Faculty was established in September 1998. Students
are granted a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing Sciences
(BSN) upon successfully completing 139 credit hours over
4 academic years, as well as a 300-hour internship.
The Faculty limits the number of enrolled students to
20-25 students every year, in proportion to the faculty
members and the facilities available for practical
training. There are currently 118 students enrolled in
the College.
Clinical training in the College starts at the beginning
of the second academic year. The students first
practice their nursing skills in the Faculty’s labs on
campus. After acquiring some proficiency, they go on to
health institutions to use their new knowledge in a
real-life setting. The Faculty coordinates these
activities with the Ministry of Health and the
administration of the hospitals.
Since its establishment, 105 students have graduated
from the Nursing Faculty. The first group graduated in
2002. These graduates work in different areas of the
health sectors, in both private and public institutions.
Some of the graduates continue their training in
specialized courses inside Palestine and abroad.
