The Nursing Department started its educational activities by admitting students to the I. and II. education programs in the 2016-2017 academic year. However, in line with the decision of the Council of Higher Education, the admission of new students to the II. education program of the Nursing Department has been halted as of the 2023-2024 academic year, and education is only continued through the I. education. Currently, there are a total of 12 faculty members in our department, including 7 Associate Professors, 3 Doctor Faculty Members, and 2 Research Assistants with Doctor titles.
Our students receive theoretical and practical education in basic medical sciences, nursing fundamentals, internal diseases, surgical diseases, women's health, child health, mental health, public health, management and education-oriented courses, as well as courses related to social sciences. In addition to compulsory courses, there are elective courses tailored to students' interests in the program. Theoretical courses are conducted in our school's modern-equipped classrooms.
Practical training is carried out in collaboration with Bucak State Hospital, Cadıl Healthy Life Center affiliated with Bucak District Health Directorate, Family Health Centers, and various level schools (kindergarten, primary school, middle school, and high school) affiliated with Bucak National Education Directorate, according to the content and objectives of the course. Practical courses are conducted under the guidance of expert faculty members in the relevant field.
In our Nursing Department, there is one Nursing Laboratory and one Basic Medical Sciences Laboratory. These laboratories provide modern educational environments that allow students to transform their theoretical knowledge into practical skills.
Our department aims to train qualified nurses and to contribute graduates to the healthcare system who possess scientific and ethical values and are sensitive to the community.
