Each person plays a different, but significant, role in your professional development as we work, study, and play together. The faculty will provide expert teaching within the structure of the program. Staff will assist you in a number of ways as you meet program and graduation requirements. Preceptors in the various clinical agencies will give willingly of themselves and their expertise to promote and ensure your learning. Finally, your classmates will support you, assist you, and challenge you to think critically and communicate effectively.
Nursing is intellectually, physically, and emotionally challenging.
The successful nursing students will assume responsibility for keeping up with coursework, while finding time within a busy schedule to eat well, exercise regularly, and have fun. I encourage you to talk frequently with your faculty advisor and your course faculty. Small problems can often be resolved before they become large problems if the advice of an experienced faculty is sought early. I look forward to getting to know you and learning with and from you. You are most welcome to come by my office.
