Welcome and Mission Statement

The Faculty of the Jeanette C. Rudy School of Nursing and Health Professions welcomes you as you begin this educational process that will lead to your continuing education as a Registered Nurse Educator and Leader. We are pleased you have chosen Cumberland University and wish you every success in the master of nursing program. This handbook is designed to provide you with information to guide you during your program of study in nursing. Revisions to this document are made when needed, based on changes in policies and recommendations by students and/or Faculty.

Please read your handbook carefully as nursing students are accountable for the content and policies found in the guide. In addition the Cumberland University Student Handbook and the Cumberland University Catalog are important resources with policies and information which will assist you in being successful at the School of Nursing. Students Right to Know Policies may be viewed under CU Website http://www.cumberland.edu/studentrighttoknow.
