Key Summary
To make your way as a nurse in our modern healthcare system, you need more than practical training. You need to develop creative, critical thinking, analytical, and communications skills so strong that they will never desert you no matter how stressful the conditions under which you practice.
Thiel’s century and a half tradition of education in the liberal arts and sciences means you don’t have to sacrifice either state-of-the-art scientific training or the benefits of a liberal arts education.
Major Features
- The critical thinking, interpersonal and technical skills needed to provide care in diverse settings to diverse patients;

- Understanding of healthcare policy, finance, and regulatory environments to advocate for patient-centered care;
