Advising & Support

We encourage our students to have a well-rounded college experience and help how we can in supporting that. Whether it's rigorous classes or managing your clinical rotations, many of our students still find time to be involved on campus as an athlete, leader, member of a favorite club, or even participate in study abroad.

Each student has an assigned faculty advisor who helps them select courses and access student support services. We also have a dedicated academic liaison that assists students as they navigate the transition from high school to college life.

Clinicals are rewarding but also challenging. During clinical rotations, our students are supported by a full-time, responsive clinical coordinator who is accessible to both our students and our clinical partners. Our students also have competent, attentive "preceptors" (nurse mentors) who help advise and guide them in the profession.

Many of our faculty, including the dean of the school, are still involved in direct clinical practice with patients every week. This ensures not only that our faculty are current in the latest trends in nursing and healthcare — but also able to relate to your experience training for this profession.

Students can get involved in our Student Nurses' Association (SNA), and find support among peers in this student-led, professionally oriented organization for the academic, clinical, and leadership development of those pursuing a career in nursing. A faculty advisor also works closely with the SNA each year.

The University offers a variety of additional advising and support resources for all students, ranging from student engagement and counseling services to a dynamic Campus Ministry team that leads Masses, prayer, and other campus activities.
