Students in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences have access to Vermont's largest medical center (Fletcher Allen Health Care); a distinct advantage over many nursing programs.
At many points in your education, you will need access to support and resources. The Department of Nursing is always here for your tough decisions: advisement and academic needs, confusion about the future, job searches, etc.

Due to the volume of inquiries, we are not able to schedule individual appointments. Prospective transfer students interested in the Nursing program are invited to attend an information session that will answer questions about the program and the transfer process.

Everything you need to know about your Department of Nursing experience can be found in the student handbooks. Read about our philosophy, advisement, code of conduct, curriculum, policies and more!
Read the Nursing Department student handbooks:
There is no substitute for careful planning, and in this regard your advisor is an indispensable resource. Rapport between you and your advisor adds an experienced and knowledgeable dimension to your long-range academic planning. Course selection, degree requirements, career and/or graduate program options, and other educational decisions are matters you can discuss with your advisor.
All nursing students are assigned to a faculty advisor within the Department of Nursing. As students progress through the curriculum they often decide to change advisor for a variety of reasons. Frequently, a relationship that began as a student/advisor develops into a friendship that lasts beyond college graduation. The process to change advisors is simple and needs to be initiated within the Department.
If you do not know your advisor's name, you may look it up by going to the Student Information Access section of the Registrar's Office website.
Your advisor can be an invaluable source of information. Getting to know your advisor and other faculty can only enhance your experience at UVM. You are encouraged to meet with your advisor frequently. You should meet before registering for classes each semester. Additionally, you will want to meet with your advisor to discuss withdrawal from any classes, progression within the curriculum, taking a “leave of absence,” and to learn about study abroad options.
The best way to meet with your advisor is to meet during his/her office hours or to arrange for an appointment. You may make appointments directly with your advisor if your class schedule prevents you from being able to meet with them during office hours.
