Preceptor Appreciation / APN Awards

As we note on our Community Partner page, our school treasures our community partners. Institutions are community partners, but so are preceptors. They are both keys to our success as a school of nursing. In an attempt to convey our gratitude for these partnerships, we have instituted an annual award to recognize a preceptor per year from our clinical programs. We also honor an advanced practice nurse as well. Please click into the hyper-linked bullets below for more information.
