Nursing
As a nursing major, you have the opportunity to gain a well-rounded liberal arts education and hands-on nursing experience with a high degree of faculty contact. Unlike many programs, William Jewell works with a variety of hospitals so that students gain experience in a wide spectrum of clinical settings. Our close proximity to downtown Kansas City - just twenty minutes away - gives you access to six medical centers, a variety of hospitals, and more than 10 agencies in and around the greater Kansas City area.
A nursing internship allows you to work directly with experienced nurses on choice units, expand your clinical skills, and become more confident in the role of the nurse. The Pryor Leadership Studies in Nursing Program (PLSP–N) provides you the opportunity to learn personal, professional, and civic leadership through critical reflection, mentoring, and experiential learning.
You may enter the nursing program as a high school graduate, transfer credits from another college or university, or seek admission as a college graduate in the accelerated track bachelors in nursing program. Various college, hospital, state, and federal aid programs are available to help with costs while completing requirements towards the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.
This experience adds up to great success for William Jewell nursing students. One hundred percent (100%) of the 2002 graduates passed the National Council Licensure Examination – RN (NCLEX-RN) on their first attempt. With our superior reputation in the health care community, employers are eager to hire graduates from William Jewell.
