We recently had the pleasure of welcoming students from the UH Future Nurse Academy to Kent State University's College of Nursing for a day of exploration, learning, and hands-on experiences!

Students learned about our nursing programs, admissions process, degree pathways, and other health-related majors before experiencing the innovative ways we prepare future nurses. They explored our state-of-the-art Simulation and Skills Labs, participated in a virtual reality demonstration, and discovered how simulation technology and hands-on practice help build the clinical skills and confidence needed for patient care.

We loved sharing what makes Kent State nursing a place where future healthcare professionals can learn, grow, and thrive. We hope to see you back on campus soon! 💙🩺
