The
William Jewell College Nursing Experience
If there is ever a time in life
when you want someone to have a
passion for their job and the ability
to exude strong leadership and decision
making skills, it would be when
you are in the care of a nurse.
When life's vulnerable moments are
part of the journey, we clamor for
only the best. But where do you
find the best? Look no farther than
Marston Hall, home of the William
Jewell Nursing Program. |
|
For 36 years the core philosophy of the
William Jewell Nursing Department has
been focused not merely on educating nurses,
but rather on developing nursing leaders.
By instilling the core fundamentals of
building relationships with people, learning
how to lead oneself and others, and reinforcing
the value of serving, this pinnacle program
is perfecting the art of joining the science
of medicine with the art of helping people
heal.
This core philosophy is supported by surrounding
Jewell nursing students with opportunities
to work with and learn from the best in
their field. Internships, fellowships
and residencies; specialized leadership
programs like the Pryor Leadership Fellows
and Parish Nursing; unique symposiums
that highlight undergraduate nursing,
and career mentoring, and a chapter of
an international nursing society open
the doors wide for William Jewell nursing
students.

William
Jewell nursing students take the
lessons learned from the nursing
program and apply them throughout
the local community, the country
and the mission field. They serve
in operating rooms, emergency rooms,
neonatal intensive care units, as
well as oncology, medical, and surgical
units. Many quickly rise to roles
of leadership within hospitals.
In the Kansas City area, 20 percent
of the Chief Nursing Officers in
local hospitals are William Jewell
graduates. Local hospitals believe
so strongly in the program that
in the 2004-2005 school year, they
awarded Jewell sophomores, juniors,
and
|
seniors
more than $550,000 in scholarships. In
addition, the Victor E. Speas Foundation
awarded a $98,560 grant for a Nursing
Arts Laboratory to enhance students' clinical
experiences.
How successful is this ambitious program?
The numbers speak for themselves. A 96
percent pass rate for the 2004 Nursing
Class and a 100 percent pass rate for
the new accelerated program put William
Jewell's program the third highest baccalaureate
program in Missouri. This year there is
twice the number of applicants than seats
in the accelerated program, and three
times as many transfer applicants as spaces
in the BSN track.
Obviously the secret is out, and students
searching for a truly challenging program
and rewarding career in the pursuit of
helping others heal while providing personal
leadership will find what they are looking
for in the William Jewell Nursing program.
