Lourdes nursing students
The Lourdes University College of Nursing aims to graduate students with the clinical judgment skills and professional identity to impact individual and system approaches to patient safety and who can transition readily into complex healthcare systems.
Lourdes nursing programs expose students to increasingly complex patient care needs and engage them in more diverse healthcare settings. With a strong foundation of safety, communication, and clinical judgment, students move on to develop competency within comprehensive healthcare systems. Clinical placements integrate concepts by increasing the student’s application of nursing essentials.
