Research & Internship Opportunities
As a nursing student, you will have research opportunities both in the classroom and in clinical practice.
- Nursing Research, a required course for all students, includes a service-learning component.
- During your Clinical Practicum, you will have an opportunity to create a Transformational Practice Project which can be presented at our annual BSN symposium and at Nancy Kreiter Student Research Day.
In Nursing, we teach the value of advocacy; advocacy for patients and their families. Research assignments are often built on this outcome and the School of Nursing’s mission overall.
Clinical Experiences
You will have an opportunity to gain experience in a clinical setting at the start of your junior year, and you will take courses with a clinical component every semester from that point forward.
In clinicals, you will have a chance to apply concepts learned in the classroom by working with patients and their families under the supervision of a clinical instructor.
Clinical Sites Include
Simulation Labs
In addition to clinical sites, you will also spend time in our state-of-the-art simulation labs, which allow you to practice your response to realistic medical situations in a safe environment.
Study Abroad
You may choose to participate in a mission trip to Haiti as part of the Community Health Clinical Experience.
