Signature Healthcare
When you think about earning a Diploma in Nursing from Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital School of Nursing, your mind automatically focuses on nursing theory classes and clinical experiences. But did you know that to earn your diploma, you must complete 10 general education classes? For more than 28 years, Fisher College has provided the general education classes that you need – right here at BHSON. The BHSON site is exclusively for students enrolled in the nursing program.
Your Fisher College classes are carefully structured to help you in your nursing career. We do not consider the general education classes “prerequisites” or classes “to get out of the way.” The faculties of both BHSON and Fisher College realize that you cannot be a good nurse if you do not know how the body functions, how to prevent infection, or how to communicate effectively and work with others cooperatively.
The science courses have been written specifically for nursing students. The classes serve as the framework on which you will build your nursing knowledge. The general studies classes stress critical thinking skills important in nursing practice.
In addition to earning a Diploma in Nursing, some students may be eligible to earn an Associate in Science in General Studies degree from Fisher College.
