MESSAGE FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Greetings, and thank you for your interest in the Thelma T. Hodges Nursing Program. We are thrilled to have you enroll in our program. The Thelma T. Hodges nursing program was founded in 2017 to commensurate the University’s mission of extending community services and providing academic excellence. Since its inception, the nursing program has been recognized for excellence in nursing education and practice. The Nursing Program at Hodges University aims to develop knowledgeable, caring, and principled nurses with a commitment to excellence. We are privileged by the high caliber type of nurses the program produces, and it is an honor to receive such excellent feedback from local healthcare organizations. As the nursing shortage dominates the healthcare systems locally and globally, we are committed to producing quality and caring nurses passionate about nursing and what they do. It is the nursing program’s strategic plan as we look to the future to increase enrollment and expand and diversify nursing program offerings to meet the needs of the local community. Nursing students here learn to care for their patients and clients with humility and respect. Principles of cultural sensitivity and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are integrated throughout the nursing curriculum. Our faculty members are committed to excellence in education and producing knowledgeable and caring nurses. Our local clinical affiliations with various healthcare organizations and settings allow students to sharpen their clinical skills by applying clinical judgment framework in praxis. I encourage you to join our nursing program to transform the future of nursing and healthcare.
