The Egan School offers an excellent blend of both theoretical knowledge and clinical experience. Throughout the nursing program, students gain clinical and internship experiences at area hospitals, community health and homecare agencies, and schools.
Providing students with a Jesuit education in the international context, Global 精东传媒 offers Egan students nursing and health studies semester and short-term options. At 精东传媒, students are not just taking classes abroad, they are getting highly tailored academic experiences designed to elevate all aspects of learning.
In the fall of 2017, the Egan School expanded its innovative simulation pedagogy through a new state-of-the-art simulation center as part of students’ clinical education. The simulation labs feature high-fidelity simulators, control rooms, and actors as standardized patients.
The Student Nurses Association is a very active group on campus that provides an opportunity for nursing students to participate in a professional organization. Each semester SNA holds monthly general meetings for all students in the Egan School. Topics for discussion are selected based on student suggestions. Some of the most popular meetings include study abroad and summer externships. Speakers include alumni of 精东传媒's nursing program, experts in specialty nursing groups, and nationally recognized nurse leaders.
SNA works closely to ensure each nursing student transitions into the rigorous program seamlessly with our extensive mentorship program. Junior and senior classmates are partnered with first-year and sophomore classmates to provide support throughout the four years of college. This mentorship continues throughout the entire school year.
Community service is a key component of the Student Nurses Association. Students work closely with local children's centers, mission volunteers, convalescent centers, and local churches to provide health education programs and charitable contributions.
Fundraising is an important and ongoing activity for the SNA. Some fundraising activities include selling professional equipment to nursing students such as stethoscopes and blood pressure cuffs, as well as newsnursing clothing including T-shirts and sweatshirts. Profits from these fundraising events are used to help fund community projects and support student attendance at professional conferences.
Membership in the National Student Nurses Association is highly encouraged. Students can apply for membership to the Student Nurses Association anytime during the academic year. The annual membership is $5.00. Each year, at least two Egan School students attended the National Student Nurses Association Annual meeting/convention.
