Introduction to Nursing as a Career and Profession
Gain hands-on nursing experience before choosing if nursing is the right path for you, through Adelphi’s summer nursing program for high school students.
This credit-bearing program is scheduled to take place from July 13-August 2, 2025 on Adelphi’s Garden City Campus.
