One of the biggest things I gained was a sense of confidence and purpose as I step into an incredibly demanding field. Nurses are confronted with some of the harshest parts of the world on a daily basis, and I think that JBU has prepared me to face that and carry Christ's redemptive love to those who need it.

What to expect as a nursing student at JBU

""

Prepare to pass the NCLEX

""

A faith-based nursing program

You'll be part of a community whose ultimate mission is to honor God and serve others and learn how to do this within the context of nursing. 

There is no shame in not knowing something, rather it is an opportunity to learn and to get better. Specifically, in nursing, there is an overwhelming amount of material that you are taught, told to read, and tested on. Learning this material takes time and intentionality. I would argue that asking questions does not show a lack of knowledge, but rather a desire for it. The JBU nursing faculty does an excellent job of fostering this pursuit of knowledge and understanding both in the classroom and clinical setting.
