Hope College Nursing

End-of-life care can be intimidating.

Many nursing students enter the workforce with a "fear of the unknown" when it comes to patient loss. Dr. Stephanie Johnson is closing that gap at Hope College with a new curriculum featuring specialized simulations and seminars.

By replacing anxiety with confidence, Dr. Johnson is preparing our students to serve not just as clinicians, but as the hands and feet of Jesus for patients and families during their most difficult journeys.
