RINEC combines the most state of the art classrooms with rigorous experiential learning, placing Rhode Island and RIC's Zvart Onanian School of Nursing students at the forefront of the nation in nursing education.
Our degree-granting graduate nursing programs, MSN and DNP, are housed entirely at RINEC. Students in these programs benefit from this technologically advanced learning space while also having complete access to all amenities offered on RIC's main campus. Our undergraduate nursing students begin their nursing programs on RIC's campus, in the Zvart Onanian School of Nursing, and then start taking classes at RINEC in their junior year.
RINEC's nursing simulation suite provides students the opportunity to experience and respond to lifelike simulated medical situations. Students work with mannequins, computer simulations, and actors to safely practice and perfect their nursing skills in RIC's accredited Nursing Simulation Program.
Rhode Island Nursing Education Center (RINEC) is a Providence-based facility for baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral level nursing instruction for RIC's Zvart Onanian School of Nursing and URI's College of Nursing.
