Overview
It’s more than a career. It’s a calling.
At the Hahn School of Nursing, it’s never too late to pursue your passion for meeting the health needs of humanity.
Together, students in the Entry Program in Nursing (for non-RNs) at University of San Diego build experience and confidence through hands-on practice in the Dickinson Nursing Simulation Center. In this sophisticated facility, “standardized patient” professional actors recreate real-world situations you’ll experience as a nurse. Because understanding cultural context is a vital part of nursing, we provide outreach opportunities in underserved communities while fostering diversity that informs and invigorates our programs.
As nurse scientists and advanced clinicians ourselves, we believe in each student and work tirelessly to support, mentor and prepare you to enter nursing practice. You’ll gain the skills, the thinking, the compassion and the drive you’ll need to make a real difference in patients’ lives.
This video depicts our USD MEPN pinning ceremony which is a symbolic welcoming of our newly graduated MEPN students into the nursing profession. It is a historic, respected and traditional milestone.
