Academic Resources

Academic Advisement
Academic advising is a collaborative and purposeful partnership between academic advisors, students and the greater College community. Approached from a holistic perspective, this process considers and respects students’ diverse backgrounds, schedules and goals. Advisors guide students and help facilitate the identification and achievement of the student’s educational and professional objectives.

The College utilizes a team advising model that is set-up to assist students in the most efficient and effective way possible. Students are not assigned a specific academic advisor. Rather, several faculty advisors work collaboratively as a team to advise all matriculated students. With this model, students have the flexibility to meet with any available academic advisor.

College Library
The Library is an information center designed to meet the clinical, educational and research needs of nursing students. The collection includes over 5,000 books, journals and videos related to nursing and medicine, including 24-hour access to online databases and texts.

Computer Facilities
Students have access to several computer terminals located within both the College Library and computer lab.

Nursing Skills Lab and Simulation Center
These areas provide an opportunity for students to bring theory to the bedside, where students can link concepts and skills learned in the classroom, and use critical thinking to apply them in a simulated scenario.

The skills and simulation areas offer students the opportunity to implement nursing care via lifelike scenarios within a safe practice environment.

Skills and simulation services include:

• Open lab hours, allowing for independent practice
• Lab practice time with faculty support
• Selected practice times using simulation
• Skill practice and acquisition utilizing up-to-date equipment used in acute care settings

Academic Adjustments
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 (subsection E) of the Rehabilitation Act, qualified students with disabilities are entitled to reasonable academic adjustments at Pomeroy College of Nursing. Any current or prospective student may contact the Assistant Dean for Students to discuss their disability and its potential impact on their learning. A request form and appropriate required medical documentation must be submitted, reviewed by the Assistant Dean for Students and approved prior to implementation of any adjustments.
