We promote professional and ethical standards of practice and behavior as we encourage both students and faculty to exhibit integrity in all aspects of the educational process.

I’ve been guided by professors and mentors while I conducted research, analyzed data, and presented my findings at my first research conference! How amazing to feel like my work is making a real difference in our community.
This college and the Nursing program have instilled in me the confidence to engage in more community projects and positively impact communities. I feel empowered to address community needs and make a tangible impact on the lives of refugees facing language and transportation barriers.
The thing I love most about being an educator is taking those brand-new nurses and getting them prepared to go into practice. It is because of these new nurses that I know my family and I will be in good hands in the future.
Engage in hands-on learning in simulation labs and through clinical opportunities in our community. Participate in research, internships, and international health care experiences.
