Future Nurses Suit Up for Clinicals


October 5, 2024 | Campus News

For ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø’s first-year nursing students, Clinical Orientation Day marked an important milestone in their journey toward a career in health care.

On Sept. 26, students suited up in full uniform as they began clinicals—a crucial, hands-on element of the nursing program. Clinicals are conducted onsite at local hospitals and with other healthcare partners.

These students, currently in their first semester of the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Nursing program, were captured in action during their Fundamentals of Nursing course.

The classroom learning and clinical experience are closely connected to ensure students gain the skills and knowledge needed to become safe, competent practitioners.

ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø offers two programs leading to an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Nursing, both designed to prepare students to become registered nurses.
