"The Pre-Licensure program at Minnesota State University gave me a solid foundation to build my career as a nurse. The hours at clinicals were gold & I would not trade them for anything. Graduating from the program gave me a sense of confidence. Future & current students of the nursing program need to know that every assignment, clinical, project & presentation is preparing them to be outstanding nurses!"
"My Minnesota State University nursing degree has prepared me for my career by honing my clinical, research, and communication skills. Clinical placements offer rich opportunities to improve our hands-on skills, while the classroom challenged us to conduct baccalaureate-level research. An emphasis is placed on communication early in the program to make us more comfortable communicating with patients, families, and other interprofessional team members in practice. I owe so much to Minnesota State University for landing me a position at Mayo Clinic, Rochester. The program had a new capstone project placement method that allowed students to have more control over their placement. Luckily, I was placed on a medical/surgical unit one floor below where I started as a nurse at Mayo. It was such a valuable experience that familiarized me with the hospital before even starting!"
"Minnesota State University's Pre-Licensure Program helped prepare me for my career in critical care nursing. The program taught me how to deliver quality care not only to my patients, but their families too. The nursing faculty are passionate about the profession and provide a supportive learning environment with many leadership opportunities for students. My classmates became some of my closest friends and the relationships I made are lifelong!"
"The family-focused nursing practice I learned at Minnesota State University's School of Nursing well prepared me for my first post-graduate nursing position through teaching me resilience, professionalism, and the means to facilitate effective collaboration. All of which are concepts that I believe are of utmost importance for professionals in healthcare today, enabling me to graduate with confidence and have the tools to continue lifelong professional development."
"The Pre-Licensure Program is established in a way that ensures each and every individual in the program is set up for success. The variety and diversity in clinical sites ensure you get the experience you need in the different aspects of nursing, which in turn gives you all the tools required for you to find what you want your nursing practice to be."
