 As you can see behind me, some of us nursing students are learning a whole bunch of patient care skills using our simulation mannequins that work just like humans. These simulation mannequins provide us such a good opportunity to learn certain skills that we'll be using throughout our clinical experience and throughout our nursing program. Immaculata Nursing is so excited to announce that two new simulation labs are being added in fall of 2022 for a total of eight labs. These labs help us practice our skills outside of clinical and IU Nursing partners many reputable healthcare systems in the area, including Penn Medicine, Mainline Health, and Tower Health, as well as Nemours Children's Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware, and Children's Hospital in Philadelphia. Your first clinical experience will start your spring semester of your sophomore year. Immaculata may be small, but we are mighty. IU Nursing students don't feel like just a number here at IU, but a student that really matters. The program prepares us future nurses with small student to faculty ratios, dedicated study spaces, and easy access to professors for additional support and resources. ACE NCLEX sessions are held throughout our time here at IU Nursing, which helps us pass the NCLEX RN licensure exam, the last step before becoming an official RN. IU Nursing grads consistently achieve successful NCLEX passing rates, and we're proud to say this past year our grads scored above both the national and state average. NCLEX success means starting your careers in RN as soon as possible. IU Nursing is very proud to have a continued 100% employment rate for all of its grads that have passed the NCLEX. Every grad is employed in the career that they dreamed of, a registered nurse. Investing in an IU Nursing education pays off in many ways. Can you see yourself in IU Blue?
