important aspect of nursing, which involves caring for patients of all ages and in
a wide variety of settings.

to Baltimore, a city that has been the home of these two Catholic institutions for
more than 150 years. Your clinicals will incorporate ethical and social justice perspectives
that you have explored in the classroom.
