College Deliberately: Phillips School of Nursing at Mount Sinai Beth Israel

The mission of Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing, as a single purpose institution, is to provide optimal academic and clinical experiences at the associate and baccalaureate levels in nursing. The Associate in Applied Science degree leads to eligibility for licensure as a Registered Professional Nurse. The baccalaureate degree program prepares nurses to assume advanced roles in the profession. The school is committed to serving a diverse student body with both students new to the college experience and adult learners returning to college for a degree in nursing.

The aim is to graduate nurses who will provide high quality, culturally sensitive and compassionate care in a variety of health care settings. The program prepares graduates to be flexible, accountable and maintain the highest moral and ethical standards of the profession.
