Teaching
A transformative educational experience
As health care evolves, our approach to teaching evolves, too. At the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, we provide a transformative education, preparing our students to reach their highest potential as nursing leaders. Through innovative approaches to education and a rigorous curriculum, our expert faculty challenge students to critically assess and develop the beliefs, values, and knowledge that will guide them throughout their nursing careers.
Clinical Experiences
With hand-picked clinical placements, Loyola ensures opportunities are tailored to meet the needs of each student. These clinical experiences are the cornerstone of your nursing education. At Loyola Nursing, we are committed to providing diverse opportunities for students to practice their nursing skills in real world settings. Our faculty work with each student to find the placement and preceptor that's the best fit for them.
Loyola Nursing offers hundreds of unique pathways for students to work in a clinical setting, caring for diverse patient populations. In the Chicago area alone, we maintain approximately 400 affiliation agreements with health care facilities, from community clinics to world-class hospitals.
"I was so impressed by the connections Loyola had with hospitals in Chicago and was excited by the possibility of getting clinical experience at some of these health systems." - Nina Herkert (BSN '19)
Simulation Labs and Experiences
Nursing simulation labs provide a realistic and "safe space" for students to encounter a variety of scenarios without the fear of harming an actual patient. Labs are equipped with high-fidelity adult, pediatric, and obstetric simulators. By challenging students to problem-solve, collaborate, and think critically, these labs help them apply and practice their skills in hospital, clinic, and home settings. Through Loyola's Center for Simulation Education, students have access to two, state-of-the art simulation labs at the Lake Shore and Health Sciences campuses.
