American University of Antigua (AUA) is proud to announce the opening of its School of Nursing. The program is unique and should be especially attractive to U.S. citizens who want to practice nursing in the United States, as well as those in the Caribbean region who are interested in pursuing a nursing career. The AUA School of Nursing offers you options. Earning your ASN and RN qualifies you to enter the Lehman College Nursing Program (CUNY) to earn a BSN which is accredited by the Nursing Accrediting Commission NLNAC; the most recognized accrediting body in the nursing field. ASN and BSN nurses make more money and have more career choices. The National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice (NACNEP) has recommended that by 2010 at least two-thirds of all registered nurses hold baccalaureate or higher degrees. While attending AUA School of Nursing, you will have be learning from a world-class faculty that will help you acquire the skills necessary to excel in today's demanding field of nursing. You will also have the opportunity to access hospital-integrated learning in early semesters.

AUA is a hospital-integrated university in the Caribbean where you begin your clinical experience starting in your first semester. We strongly believe in mentoring students by providing a close faculty-to-student interaction. Small class sizes enhance learning and the interaction between students and their professors. It is our pledge to never have more than 120 students per classroom. This is unique among the Caribbean medical schools which helps maximize student’s learning experience. In addition, the outstanding experience of our U.S. and international faculty meets the highest standards of modern education. Our comprehensive modern classrooms and learning facility are designed for students who aspire to become highly skilled, compassionate physicians and nurses and plan to practice medicine and nursing throughout Canada, the United States and the Caribbean region. AUA represents the realization of the commitment made by the founding group of American physicians, nurses and medical education professionals, together with Manipal University to create a truly world class educational institution.
