Nursing School Curriculum Explained: How...

Kati Kleber, MSN RN
About this episode

In this episode, I interviews Dr. Kelly J. Dries, Ph.D., RN, Director of Nursing Program Success at Wolters Kluwer Health. As a former dean of a nursing school, Dr. Dries shares:

  • Her educational journey from someone telling her she'd never make it in nursing school, all the way to her PhD
  • How nursing schools decide what their curriculum will look like
  • The (sometimes sutble but important) differences between programs
  • Smart questions to ask about the schools you're considering
  • Advice and encouragement

Money-Saving Tip: Private student loans tend to have higher rates and stricter terms compared to federal options. That’s why it’s smart to shop around. Services like Juno let you tap into group-negotiated loan rates, sometimes cutting interest by up to 4%. Signing up is free, and even a 1% lower rate could save you thousands over the life of your loan - https://www.freshrn.com/juno
