Holistic Care
Alum, NDMU Class of 2018
Nursing (Entry-Level BSN)
Notre Dame introduced me to the theory that emphasizes caring behavior as the center of nurse practice. My professors encouraged me to take what I was learning in the classroom and bring it to the clinical setting. I can honestly say that I understand how to care for my future clients, in a much more holistic manner thanks to NDMU. What’s Next for Karla: Medstar Harbor Hospital, Obstetrics Nurse

“You don’t join this organization if you don’t like service. That’s one of the first things we always tell new members and people that are interested. It doesn’t feel like work when you’re doing it with a great bunch of people. It’s just fun and good memories, which I’m going to remember forever once I leave Notre Dame." - Francesca Circosta '22, president of the Omega Phi Alpha service sorority for the 2021-22 academic year.

Importance of Caring Science
Alum, NDMU Class of 2021
Nursing (Entry-Level BSN)
One of the unique aspects of the nursing program at Notre Dame is that we learn about caring science. It’s a term I was not familiar with before coming here. The faculty emphasize that we as nurses need to take care of ourselves before we treat our patients. We ourselves need to be ok in order to treat someone who’s not ok. I’ve carried that with me throughout my work experiences so far, and I know it will stick with me in the future.
