Research College of Nursing

What does Research College of Nursing offer in terms of athletics?

Research College of Nursing is not an NCAA athletics institution. Applicants should not interpret lists of sports associated with the broader Rockhurst partnership or Kansas City area as a roster of Research College of Nursing varsity teams.

Students interested in recreation should ask what fitness facilities, intramural activities or partner-campus opportunities their particular enrollment grants them access to. Access to another institution's facilities or clubs is different from eligibility to compete on its varsity teams.

What student groups and Associations are available at Research College of Nursing?

Student involvement at Research College of Nursing is most relevant to its nursing focus: applicants can look for professional development, peer leadership and service activities connected to nursing education.

Because its traditional bachelor's pathway has involved Rockhurst University, students should distinguish organizations run by Research College of Nursing from activities they may be eligible to join through that partnership. Membership and access can depend on where a student is enrolled. An admissions or student affairs contact can identify currently active groups and their eligibility rules.

Who studies at Research College of Nursing?

Research College of Nursing is a small institution: reported enrollment was 205 students, with a reported student-to-faculty ratio of 7 to 1. The ratio is an institution-wide measure, not a promise about the size of every lecture or clinical group.

The reported age distribution shows why a prospective student should not assume everyone is entering directly from high school. Students ages 22-24 formed the largest reported age group, followed by those ages 20-21. Students in their late twenties, thirties and older also attended. These counts describe enrollment at a point in time; they do not establish the composition of a future class.

How does student life look like at Research College of Nursing?

Everyday life at Research College of Nursing is likely to revolve substantially around nursing coursework, skills development and clinical schedules. That is a different structure from a large residential campus where most activities take place in one location.

Reported student services include personal or psychological counseling and a health clinic. Students should check how to access these services, particularly if they divide their time among college, partner-campus and clinical locations. Orientation, peer connections and campus activities may also vary by program: an accelerated student and a student in a traditional bachelor's pathway may have different schedules and points of contact.

What libraries are available to students at Research College of Nursing?

Greenlease Library is associated with Rockhurst University, the academic partner that has been relevant to Research College of Nursing students. Applicants should not assume that a library named in a shared-campus listing is owned or operated by the nursing college.

For nursing study, the useful questions are which students can use Greenlease Library's study space, research help, online journals and health-sciences databases, and whether access works away from campus during clinical placements. Library borrowing and remote-access privileges should be confirmed for the applicant's specific program and enrollment arrangement.
