Clinical experience begins in the sophomore year as students learn to assess healthy individuals, families, groups, communities and populations. NCLEX preparation begins in the sophomore year as well, with students using materials from Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) and Kaplan. These materials are utilized through the student?s senior year.

The junior year focuses on clients who need nurses to perform much of their care, such as post-operative care, critical care, and psychiatric nursing. The senior year highlights complex nursing skills for a variety of clients. Students complete community project as well as participate in a two-week intercultural experience.

We emphasize leadership, management, and moral and ethical development.?
