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. You’ll gain the skills, the thinking, the compassion and the drive you’ll need to make a real difference in patients’ lives.

Features

Together, students in the Entry Program in Nursing (for non-RNs) at the 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.
