Current Students - Nursing

A message from program director Dr. Linda Earwood

Hello and welcome to all of our DMC current and soon to be nursing students, we are so excited to be your school of nursing! We are proud to offer full-time and part-time programs, and various degrees plans such as vocational nursing, associate degree nursing, LVN-Paramedic-to-RN and our newest BSN nursing program.

Here in the DMC Department of Nursing Education our guiding philosophy centers on what we commonly refer to as our “four C”s: Caring, Communication, Competency and Clinical judgement. Each component encompasses so much than one word can convey as you will learn to appreciate. Nurses must have a strong theoretical and scientific basis for the practice of nursing; therefore our concept-based curriculum is grounded in science as well as the art of nursing.

Your faculty have such a wealth of nursing experience and as your educators we are all committed to sharing our knowledge and passion, in the hopes of planting the excitement, joy and comfort gained from our practice.

We pride ourselves that our graduates are prepared to promote, maintain and restore health, and care for diverse individuals of all ages.  My challenge to each of you is to find your nursing passion as you move through our nursing program.
