School of Nursing Academic Advising
Every student has a nursing faculty advisor who serves as a guide and mentor. Consultation with or approval by the faculty advisor is required for a variety of academic program decisions that students make.
Pre-licensure program students are assigned a faculty advisor by the Academic Advising office in consultation with the Assistant Dean of Nursing. Students may request a change of advisor because of shared academic interests with another faculty member, difficulty connecting with the assigned advisor, etc. In addition, the Pre-Nursing/Nursing Academic Advisor, Erin Childers, is available to advise students on Linfield Curriculum (general education) and other graduation requirements.
RN to BSN & MSN program students are assigned to the RN-BSN & MSN Academic Advisor upon matriculation. If you are a current RN-BSN or MSN student, please contact advising@linfield.edu with any questions.
