Pre-Nursing Student Success Academy

The Pre-Nursing Success Academy is a program designed to equip pre-nursing and first-semester Nursing students with the skills and resources necessary for academic success in the upcoming Fall semester and beyond. We aim to foster the development of effective study habits and skills, thereby enhancing academic performance.

Preparation and Empowerment for Nursing Students

The Pre-Nursing Success Academy program includes sessions led by Nursing faculty and current Nursing students. These sessions will provide insights into the nursing field and share valuable experiences. Additionally, we will feature representatives from Student Success and Counseling and Prevention Services (CAPS), who will introduce students to the wide range of academic and campus resources available. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that our students are well-prepared and confident as they embark on their nursing journey.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is limited availability for this program because we are providing a free lunch to all attendees. Due to limited availability for this program, we require that all students attend and participate through the entirety of the program. First semester Nursing students who will be starting the Nursing program this August have been given priority in registering for the program. Students who are not starting the nursing program this fall can register and will be notified by Aug. 1^st if space is available.

Believe you can and you’re halfway there.

Student Feedback

Attending the Pre-Nursing Success Academic made me more confident about starting my first semester in the Nursing program because I got to know the faculty and other students.

Attending the Pre-Nursing Success Academic made me more confident about starting the Fall semester because it helped motivate me to read lectures/reading materials before each class.

Attending the Pre-Nursing Success Academic made me more confident because it introduced the amount of time and effort expected to be dedicated to classes. It was intimidating, but it will lessen the shock for the first week of classes. I really appreciated the note-taking and reading techniques. I also enjoyed the opportunity to meet classmates and talk about study groups beforehand as well.

This program was a very helpful tool to have prior to starting nursing school and allowed me to see some of the professors that will directly be my instructors when I start the program.
