The Nurse's Commitment to Lifelong Learning
IWU's curriculum provides courses that develop professional values, skills in core disciplines, and leadership through active career participation. We recognize that nursing is also a commitment to a higher purpose and to meet it you must constantly add to your body of knowledge. Knowing how to best motivate and direct your learning is a learned skill. IWU's nursing program offers courses that develop your self-directed learning abilities.
That doesn't mean you will be working alone. You become part of a cohort group, which is a class of 15 to 18 students who take the program together. You collaborate with your classmates and discuss the course material, receiving their support and experience throughout the entire program.
