Facilities for Instruction and Practice

The University assumes full responsibility for providing the instruction throughout the entire program. (Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from the various facilities utilized for the practice of nursing.) Community based practice of nursing will most likely require individual means of transportation for agency and home visiting. During the professional portion of the curriculum, theory and laboratory are directed by faculty members. Among the agencies used for student experience are the following:
