Veterans Support
The Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing supports students who are military veterans. We believe that by supporting military veterans and their families, we are creating an inclusive learning environment where students can not only feel supported but can be successful as future nurses.
It is also important to educate our future nurse leaders about providing the best care for military veterans in medical and community settings.
Linfield University is a Pledging Nursing School for Joining Forces.
