Specialty Interest Groups

College of Nursing faculty members want to help you develop a sense of professionalism that extends beyond your usual clinical course work. One of the ways we do this is by offering you the opportunity to become involved in one or more specialty interest groups.

Would you like to share ideas with future colleagues and learn from national leaders in that specialty? We have ongoing interest groups in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, leadership, and oncology.

Guest speakers, usually nurse researchers, share their expertise at quarterly dinner meeting events. The dinners are industry- and/or College-sponsored. Interested students, community practitioners, and faculty are invited.

With membership in an interest group you will:

  •  Learn how important life-long learning is to the nursing profession
  • Learn to model professional nursing behaviors
  • Enhance your understanding of research and how it affects practice
  • Learn about roles of advanced practice nurses and be encouraged to consider graduate studies
