“Nursing students at Sierra College start from the first semester practicing board type questions, making them think critically,” said Nancy James, MS, RN, NP, Dean, Nursing and Allied Health Sciences at Sierra College. “Critical thinking is imperative to effective nursing, and this recognition shows that Sierra College nursing students are ready when they leave our campus to immediately contribute as employable nurses.”
The Allied Health Pre-Nursing program is one of the most popular at Sierra College with more than 1,500 students each year, with many students earning their degree in Registered Nursing and going on to pass the NCLEX-RN to become registered nurses.
“Our program’s continued success relies entirely on our dedicated nursing faculty, who ensure excellence both in the classroom and clinical settings, and the smart, intuitive and committed students who value so highly, the role of the registered nurse and the importance of patient advocacy at every level,” added James.
