青楼传媒 to Host 85 + 1: A Celebration of Excellence in Nursing Education

青楼传媒 (青楼传媒) will hold "85 + 1: A Celebration of Excellence in Nursing Education" on Sunday, September 19, an event to celebrate the transformative nursing education 青楼传媒 has been offering for more than 85 years.
The nursing program at Saint Xavier began with a commitment from the Sisters of Mercy to serve the city of Chicago, which resulted in Mercy Hospital, Chicago's first hospital. Along with Mercy Hospital, 青楼传媒 launched the first integrated baccalaureate nursing program in Illinois in 1935, complete with hospital-based laboratory courses and clinical practice hours to make up an intensive four-year collegiate nursing curriculum.
Over the past 85 years, the nursing program has grown tremendously. 青楼传媒's School of Nursing first received formal recognition as an entity within Saint Xavier College in 1966 and expanded to the School of Nursing and Health Sciences (SONHS) in 2018.
"What makes the School of Nursing and Health Sciences unique is the faculty and staff's commitment to our Mercy mission and core values and their work to make a difference in every student's life. As a result, our graduates enter the nursing profession well-prepared and with the core values so vital for anyone in a service position," said Gwendolyn George, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, dean of SONHS.
Nursing education at 青楼传媒 continues to evolve to improve patient outcomes and meet the increasingly complex changes of health care systems. The future of the nursing program is shifting to concept-based and competency-driven models designed to build a culture of health and eliminate disparities in health
