This August, School of Nursing students in the advanced practice nursing programs will convene on the Simmons campus for a three- or four-day long Immersion experience to prepare them for clinical rotations. We spoke to Associate Professor of Practice Laura Behm and Professor of Practice Tina Delouchry about a new session added to this year's Immersion, focused on interprofessional collaboration.

Simmons School of Nursing students in our online programs came to campus over the summer for an Immersion experience. For insight into what this entailed, we spoke to Tina Delouchry, Professor of Practice and Director of FNP Clinical Education, and Laura Behm, Associate Professor of Practice and Director of PMHNP Clinical Education.

Tina Delouchry, School of Nursing Professor of Practice and Director of the Direct Entry (DE) Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) FNP Program, shares the value of the DE program, which provides an opportunity for students with a Bachelor’s degree in a field other than nursing to pursue a degree as an advanced practice nurse.
