The Nursing Department was established in 2019.
The student begins, in his first year, to study basic scientific subjects that
will enable him to progress to the required levels of subjects. During the
first-year students are provided with the latest knowledge and practices in the
field of nursing. The program aims, during the first and second years, to use
the knowledge gained from the fundamentals of nursing and apply it during their
care for acute patients, and the care of critically ill patients. Then the
student moves to the level of the third and fourth year, where the nursing
program focuses on preparing nursing students in a way that enables them to
adapt and take care of the health needs of individuals and society by offering
materials about basic concepts in the community health nursing and mental health
nursing. In addition, the program provides an excellent learning environment that
allows for active participation in society. The program also offers materials
for students to gain basic knowledge and skills to provide care for women and
children. Here, students are trained to deal with women, especially during
pregnancy and childbirth, as training begins in laboratories, and then they are
trained in health centers and units for neonatal care and in pediatric
intensive care units. The nursing program also aims at creating new knowledge
through specialized studies and disseminating this knowledge through the use of
concepts of critical thinking, therapeutic communication, management and
counseling, and advanced skills in the exercise of professional
responsibilities. The
Nursing Department is keen to establish good relations with other educational
institutions, health institutions, and nursing associations in Jordan and

on campus through formal and informal education, conducting research and public
seminars, to carrying out activities at both community levels. Local and
