Greenville University issued the following announcement on Sept. 7
Greenville University will host a preview day September 25 for future healthcare workers to learn more about the new bachelor of science in nursing program.
GU made the BSN partnership official with St. John’s College of Nursing (SJC) in March 2021. Students can enroll now for the full program at GU which begins in fall 2022. The new program benefits students by reducing their nursing-school journey from five years to four years.
Courses at GU will include hands-on instruction in prerequisite courses needed for admission to SJC. In a student’s final two years, they will receive upper-division nursing instruction from SJC faculty on GU’s campus, and clinical experience in several nursing specialties and practicum opportunities through HSHS Holy Family Hospital.
The preview day later this month gives prospective students the opportunity to learn more about the program’s curriculum, faculty, scholarships, facilities, and about the GU experience. They will also meet professors from Greenville University and St. John's College of Nursing. The mobile simulation unit that students use will also be on campus that day.
The unit:
- Gives students hands-on experience in patient care via computerized, programmable manikins.
- Allows instructors to record student interactions with the manikins for later review and learning.
- Better prepares students for any situation in a clinical environment.
- Is used in every course.
- Allows students to learn, practice, and enhance skills in a no-risk, safe environment.
