FACULTY ADVISING

Each RN student admitted to the University as a nursing student will have a faculty or administrator available for advising onsite, or by VAL (Video-advising). If the R.N. elects to seek advising outside of an appointment (i.e. e-mail or telephone) advisors will respond as their schedules permits. All registered nurses must meet with a baccalaureate degree advisor prior to entry into the required nursing courses. Ongoing advising is highly recommended to facilitate program progression. E-mail addresses are available for needs beyond regular advising.

Those in the advising capacity offer guidance to students in relation to course selection, course load, arranging schedules, and can offer referral regarding other problems the student may encounter such as housing, finance, need for tutoring, etc. Faculty who serve as clinical instructors also have as their role to support students in their progression through the program and provide information relative to professional career guidance.
