A message from the Dean of Nursing

As we start another academic year, I welcome you to Lakeview College of Nursing. Regardless of your semester, I hope you take some time to explore this handbook and all of the other valuable resources we have provided on the college website. You have an expansive list of resources at your disposal within the College, which have all been carefully selected with your success in mind. The faculty, staff, and administration at Lakeview College of Nursing are here to support you in your journey to becoming a Registered Professional Nurse. Nursing is a career that offers both flexibility and stability. It is a profession with a rich history. Lakeview College of Nursing has been a part of that history for over 125 years. You see the most important part of that history daily when you walk down our hallways. The graduates you walk past in our halls have made substantial contributions to the nursing profession. I look forward to seeing your picture on those walls. As you work towards that goal, I would like you to consider this quote by Beverly Sills: “There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.”

Best of luck,

Brittany Lawson, MSN, RN, CNE, CNEcl
Dean of Nursing
