If you want a career where you can make a difference, nursing can be an amazing way to give back to your community. Nurses are in constant demand, especially here in northern Maine, and UMFK's Bachelor of Science in Nursing is one of our most popular programs. You'll study with professionals who are active at local hospitals, gain hands-on experience in our cutting edge simulation labs, and eventually put your skills into practice with real patients.
