To prepare nursing students for the many diverse roles available to them, clinical opportunities in a variety of health care settings are integrated as part of each semester. Externships Students have the opportunity to participate in a nursing externship which is offered in the summer after the first year of the nursing program and winter break after the third semester. Students work directly under the supervision of a nurse preceptor for a total of 150 hours. They are also supported by a faculty mentor. The externship allows the students to have hands on experience within the limits of their current clinical knowledge.
Nursing is a lifelong active goal.
