"As the Chair of the Nursing Department I am extremely proud of how my students provide nursing care. I can personally attest to the skill level and ability to provide compassionate care as my graduates have actually cared for my father on a medical surgical unit and for my daughter on a post-partum unit. It is difficult to express the gratitude I have to be able to expose students to this truly wonderful profession that definitely has opportunities to secure financial stability but more importantly allows one to profoundly impact other’s lives."

- The employment of RNs is expected to increase 17% by 2014.
- The average salary for Registered Nurses in Connecticut is $73,350.
