Business Degrees
If you are going into nursing, the college you select may determine the course of your professional life. What criteria should you consider when selecting a nursing school? There are significant differences, and although two candidates may share the qualities of a nurse, the best school for one may not be appropriate for the other. Take your time, ask questions, and make a carefully considered decision.
Criteria to consider when selecting a school of nursing
The Globe University/Minnesota School of Business program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) prepares students for the NCLEX-RN exam and entry-level positions as registered nurses. The following features distinguish our program from BSN programs at other nursing schools:
-
Our students represent diverse populations, yet share a common, overriding goal – service through nursing.
-
Our nursing school is young. As a result, our courses address contemporary issues, including integrated holistic care, the role of the hospice nurse and care of the critically ill patient.
-
Class sizes are small. Students get the help they need to master rigorous material, and develop strong professional relationships with instructors and peers.
-
On-campus classes include extensive use of simulation mannequins to prepare students for critical care nursing and care for the terminally ill. Our nursing students are exceptionally well prepared for clinicals and internships.
-
In every course in the program, students receive intensive feedback in preparation for the NCLEX-RN exam (National Council Licensure Exam for Registered Nurses).
-
We have a full-time nursing tutor and provide the academic support our students need to succeed
- Student needs and requests regarding scheduling of courses are considered carefully in order to help them in every way possible.
Will your nursing school prepare you for...?
Dealing with death? Our students not only receive training on care of the terminally ill patient, but do so in group simulations where classmates play the parts of family members. Those practical exercises, preceded and followed by discussions, prepare students to deal professionally and effectively with complex medical and emotional issues. As part of the course “Holistic End of Life Care,” students spend 30 hours in clinicals in home-hospice care, funeral homes, survivor groups and related settings.
Dealing with a complex medical emergency? Our specially instrumented mannequin provides students with practice in realistic, increasingly complex medical emergency simulations. As entry-level nurses, they have already practiced responses to crises they will experience in hospital critical care units.
Integrating holistic care into your nursing methods? An appreciation for cultural diversity and human spirituality is a thread woven throughout our program. Our students study the human caring process, therapeutic presence, global philosophies of health and healing, and the nurse healer role, preparing them to integrate principles and practices of complementary and alternative therapies with traditional Western medicine.
