Nursing Majors RAP students and "friends". Hear what these current students have to say about the Nursing Majors RAP!

By choosing to pursue a career in Nursing, a position at the heart of the medical profession, you have demonstrated your desire to make a difference in the lives around you-as well as in your own life! 

This RAP acknowledges your commitment, and encourages you to explore, as a group with other nursing majors, the many opportunities available in this exciting field.  

Students in the RAP will have the unique opportunity to enroll in a Nursing seminar during their first semester on campus.  Through this seminar, students will get to know faculty and learn a wealth of information about the Nursing program at UMass Amherst.  We hope that all our incoming Nursing majors will give serious consideration to this wonderful opportunity.
