Hey y'all, I’m looking into nursing programs as a prospective major, and I'm really drawn to the HBCUs in Florida. Can anyone share their experiences or knowledge about the nursing programs at these institutions? How are the clinicals and the overall educational atmosphere?
Hey there! Generally speaking, the clinical rotations at these nursing programs are varied and provide a wide range of experiences in different hospital departments. Moreover, the real-world exposure students get can be invaluable for learning. The overall educational atmosphere is generally very supportive, with an emphasis on camaraderie among the students and faculty, who are always willing to go the extra mile to help.
Also the sense of community at an HBCU can be strong, with many opportunities to engage in outreach and health education within the local communities, which can be a really enriching aspect of the program.
Remember, it's important to visit the campuses if you can, talk to current students, and perhaps try to get in touch with alumni. This will give you a better feel for what to expect and help you see if it's the right fit for you. Best of luck on your journey into nursing—it’s a commendable field with so much potential to make a positive impact!
