Taylor is a current BSN Scholar who benefits from the innovative academic-practice partnership between UT College of Nursing and UT Medical Center. “The hands-on experience is incredible because the simulation lab aligns so well with our clinical practice at UT Medical Center,” Taylor said. She feels she’s reaped the rewards from both organizations.
“Being a Vol nursing student at UT Medical Center has shown me how both organizations truly invest in their students,” Taylor said. “Everyone is willing to help teach us no matter their title.” The organizations work seamlessly together, sharing the same accreditation standards and following the university’s mission, vision, values, and honor code.
As Taylor looks forward to on her upcoming graduation and future career at the medical center, she feels that being a BSN Scholar is an honor. “I can leave nursing school with no debt,” she said. “And I am well on my way to work at a Level I Trauma Center and a Magnet®-designated organization that truly cares for their patients and team members. It means so much.”
