This initiative supports our engagement with academic, clinical and industry partners to lead a transformation to a technology-rich environment. Widespread adoption and integration of iPads in the classroom and clinical areas has increased opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and connectedness. It has also stimulated a shift in the academic culture toward innovation and transformation.

What Our Students Are Saying

“My favorite part of nursing school is the clinical component. Each patient has such a unique story and it is an honor to provide comfort and support to each patient and their family when they need it most. I also absolutely love our instructional and administrative staff. My class was approximately half way through the nursing program when the COVID-19 pandemic moved our classes online – and from the very beginning our instructors went out of their way to ensure our transition was as seamless as possible. Instructors consistently go above and beyond.”
—Catherin Gibbs, FACT Accelerated BSN Student
