Each semester is to be completed in its entirety before progressing to the next semester. In addition to the regular university tuition and fees, nursing students are charged a nursing program fee each semester. Costs of laboratory tests and immunizations required for the protection of the student and client, e.g. TB skin test, hepatitis vaccination, and health care insurance costs are the responsibility of the student. There are additional expenses related to uniforms and clinical equipment, graduation, and licensure. An estimated expense sheet is available at the College of Nursing.
Students are responsible for transportation related to clinical experience.
Use of a car, especially for parent-child and community health nursing is necessary. Students should note that the clinical affiliation for mental health nursing is with the Statewide Psychiatric Nursing Education Program in Jamestown. Students may also complete the practicum course at a distant site. There are travel and housing costs associated with these affiliations. Each year Nursing majors may apply for College of Nursing Memorial awards.
