Our Faculty's Nursing Department started education in the 1998-1999 Academic Year within the Burdur Health High School. Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Health High School was closed in accordance with the Council of Ministers Decision No. 2016/8562, published in the Official Gazette dated April 08, 2016, and numbered 29678, and the Faculty of Health Sciences was established in its place with the same Council of Ministers Decision. Our department has continued its service within the faculty since the same date.
Our aim is to train nurses who help protect and improve the health of individuals, families, and society based on science at the national and international level, determine the needs of patients, plan, implement, and evaluate care in line with professional standards and ethical codes, and effectively use their roles in education, research, management, leadership, and consultancy as members of the health team. The nursing undergraduate program includes basic courses such as basic medical sciences, natural and social sciences, professional sciences in nursing, and courses aimed at nursing practice. In applied nursing courses, students first develop their skills on mannequins in the technical laboratory; later, they carry out their practical training under the supervision of teaching staff in real environments such as hospitals, community health, and some public and private institutions.
