The Chief Nursing Officer of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) has been working closely with Interim Dean Dr. Eileen Klang to enhance collaboration and expand support for our nursing program. One key initiative resulting from this partnership is the provision of dedicated release time for MUSC unit directors, allowing them to contribute clinical instruction hours to our nursing students. This initiative supplements the hospital's existing clinical training, enriching the student learning experience.

By integrating experienced nursing leaders into clinical education, students gain exposure to diverse patient populations and specialized healthcare settings. These hands-on learning opportunities are vital for bridging the gap between theoretical instruction and real-world patient care. The collaboration emphasizes a commitment to immersive clinical training, ensuring that our nursing graduates enter the workforce with the skills, confidence, and adaptability required for success in today’s dynamic healthcare environment.
