Title of the Proposed Engage 100 Experience: Get to Nole Nursing (Fall and Spring)
Description of Experience (for Students):
This course is designed specifically for first or second semester students who have declared Nursing, NFA as their major.  The class meets once a week and centers around the nursing profession and the admission requirements needed to enter the College of Nursing at FSU.  Current nursing students will serve as a resource and mentor throughout the class.  Weekly guest speakers include members of the nursing faculty, nursing advisors, nurse leaders from the community and successful Nole Nurse Alumni who are working in the profession.  Additionally, we will explore resources available to all students at FSU including The Academic Center for Excellence and The Counseling and Psychological Services Center.  Community involvement is also a key component of this course as we will be volunteering together as a group in at least one community program during the semester.

To enroll, search for NUR 1010.

Description of Experience (for Review):
The Nursing Engage 100 "Get to Nole Nursing" is specifically designed to help mentor, engage and support the 600+ pre-nursing (Nursing, NFA) students entering FSU this fall.  We hope to offer several sections for those students who are interested in the Nursing Engage 100 course.  The course will heavily emphasize mentoring from our current junior and senior nursing students.  We will also have several nursing faculty as guest speakers to allow the students a chance to know the faculty, learn about their nursing experiences and be able to ask them questions.  Members of the advising team from the college will also be included twice a semester to ensure the students have direct access to the nursing advisor.  Also planned is to include speakers from both the tutoring center and counseling center to make sure the students are aware of their resources at FSU.  Students will also be engaging in a group community outreach event at The Kearney Center and potentially other events as well.  The overall goal is support and guide the pre-nursing nursing students so they will gain entry into the college of nursing as a junior.
