We will offer a virtual, online orientation session to help students transition to the University. Students will be asked to complete short modules providing them with information about the nursing program, the campus, and campus resources.

Nursing orientation will take place after class during the first week of your NRSG 225 Nursing Fundamentals course.

Classes will be held in McMillan Classroom starting Monday, May 23, at 9 a.m. You will receive more information from your instructors. You will be required to wear a mask in the classroom. This could change before classes start. Please make sure you check the room location on “Students Online” before attending class.

You will receive your iPad the first day of class.
