Helene Fuld College of Nursing is an independent single-
purpose institution. Its mission is to provide the opportunity,
through a career-ladder approach, for men and women to
enhance their education and improve their nursing practice.
The
College endeavors to produce high-quality and technically
adaptable nurses who are able to function effectively in a
changing society.
The College aims to teach its students the value of intellectual
skills and to help them develop the capability of making
choices based on knowledge and unbiased evaluations; to
advance the student’s knowledge of the profession and their
proficiency in technical skills; to encourage personal growth,
resourcefulness, a heightened sense of responsibility and a
concern for people; to educate the students to recognize and
appreciate diverse cultural value systems; to familiarize the
students with resources for learning so that they can adapt
to the increasing complexity of professional responsibilities;
and to promote learning as a life-long commitment.
The College strives to provide leadership in non-traditional
nursing education by educating licensed practical nurses to
advance to the associate degree registered nurse level, and
to educate associate degree registered nurses to advance to
the baccalaureate degree level, and achieve a broader scope
of practice with an emphasis on Environmental Urban Health
Nursing (EUHN). The College also strives to offer opportunities
to men and women of diverse racial, ethnic, and socio-economic
backgrounds and to those who might otherwise have been
excluded from career advancement; to prepare graduates who
benefit from their increased level of expertise; and to provide
the base for further professional education.
Helene Fuld College of Nursing continually seeks to provide
its students with the broadest possible spectrum of learning
opportunities by using the vast resources of New York City.

profession of nursing, and the Harlem community of which it
is an integral part.
