Clinical coursework starts in the first semester of the sophomore year and continues in each semester until graduation. The senior year, semester-long internship includes working one-on-one with a nurse preceptor.

Endicott’s clinical partners include Boston and local tertiary hospitals, community hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, community-based care settings, and others.

Class size for most of the general education and nursing program classes is 20-30 students. In all clinical rotations, skill practice labs, and clinical simulation labs, the student:faculty ratio is 6 or 7 to 1.

During the first year while you are living on the Endicott campus, you will not need a car. In the sophomore, junior, and senior years, nursing students are responsible for their own transportation to clinical sites. Carpooling is encouraged.

Nursing coursework will take a lot of your time, but the athletics department and the School of Nursing work together to support student athletes who want to continue their sports for all four years. Nursing students have been successful in football, cheerleading, equestrian, lacrosse, basketball, field hockey, dance, ice hockey, and the performing arts.

  • Practice patient care in a state-of-the-art simulation lab.
• Service Learning Programs
  • Work with other Endicott students and faculty on community-based service teams at local shelters, county jail projects, immigrant community centers, and other locations.

  • Students may spend the fall or spring of the junior year in many locations without interrupting progress toward their degrees. A cross-cultural option, NU 315 Intercultural Nursing: Service Learning Experience, is available for nursing students. Shorter travel-based courses to Belize, Iceland,Scotland, and other countries are also available.

The following are additional out-of-pocket expenses unique to nursing students:

• Uniforms and Accessories: Students are required to have uniforms for labs and clinicals to include at least one scrub top and one scrub bottom (two of each are highly recommended), one (optional) lab coat, stethoscope, a watch with seconds hand, white shoes, and pair of name pins. There are various price points for some of these items, but the total would be in the range of $250-$350.
• Castlebranch: this secure web-based management systems assists with management of student records that are required to attend Clinical Placements.There is a one-time Castlebranch user fee of $35 that will cover all of undergraduate years. There is an additional cost for background checks. The cost is $39 for the first time and $19 for subsequent years. Please note, there are some instances when unique lab tests may be required by a given Clinical orHospital Placement which might not be covered by health insurance and would be an additional out-of-pocket expenditure.
• CPR Courses: the current cost of the CPR class is $65 plus $20 for theoptional book. It is recommended to purchase the book for first time certifiers; students do not need to purchase the book for recertification. Undergraduate students are required to take CPR Freshman and Junior Years so that the two-year CPR certificate doesn't lapse during the academic years. The total cost for CPR would thus be on the order of $130-$170.
