Our School of Nursing is a family. We care about each others’ dreams. We celebrate each others’ successes, push each other to exceed our expectations, and work together to surmount obstacles. Our faculty and students form personal relationships. This is what sets us apart, for we believe it is not just our duty to teach, but to inspire.
Don’t take our word for it—take the students’…
“All of the faculty and staff have shown their full dedication to helping me reach my goal of becoming a great nurse.” Corey Meyer, student nurse
“The faculty, as professional nurses, have a calling to help others that I am able to see. I feel like they are supporting me in my life choice in becoming a nurse.” Whitney Fugate, student nurse
“The faculty are the greatest of any department. I feel like I know everyone on a one-on-one level. They are what make the difference in my nursing school experience.” Candi Moyer, student nurse
“I look forward to helping people throughout my life, and I know that SIUE will prepare me to be the best nurse I can be!” Makayla Dilliner, student nurse
Though much has changed and continues to change within our School, the desire of our students to give their best to others remains steadfast. We bring this out of each student through coursework, clinicals, mentoring and experiences outside of the classroom that emphasize the importance of nursing and the significance of making a personal difference.
In Fall 2006, we admitted the to the School of Nursing the largest class of students ever in one semester. With your charitable support, those 145 students and the rest of our student body can continue to receive an educational experience like no other. Indeed, even as student needs increase, state funding is declining—but that only strengthens our resolve to mold exceptional nurses. As you know, all of our lives depend on this.
Please consider giving to the SIUE School of Nursing this year. Make a difference in the lives of our students. Inspire the future of nursing.
Sincerely,
