What makes the Hope College Nursing Program unique?
There are three areas that are especially unique within the Hope College Nursing Program. These include a nursing internship, a research practicum experience, and a community-based course. In the last semester, all nursing students have a clinical experience of at least 150 hours in an area of interest. This internship will prepare students for the transition to becoming a Registered Nurse. Students will participate in an on-going nursing research project that will assist in understanding how evidence-based nursing practice improves the quality of health care. The community-based course provides the opportunity to work in partnership with parish nurses and families, focusing on spiritual care and promoting health.
