Our goal for the nursing program is to graduate competent, caring, responsible beginning level nurses to meet the health care needs of our community. Nursing is a complex and multifaceted profession and the program leading to becoming a nurse is equally complex and multifaceted. We want the students entering the program to be as well prepared as possible to BE SUCCESSFUL! We have observed that the
re are some common barriers to success for students entering the nursing programs. Some students have expressed a “deer in the headlights” feeling when confronted with the expectations of the program. We want to discuss barriers and expectations here so you can prepare yourself before hand to avoid or overcome these barriers and be in a better position to meet expectations!
