SINGLE PARENT PROGRAM
The Audrey Snyder Single Parent Program was developed to support student
nurses' academic and economic needs. The program includes:
- A residential unit dedicated to the needs of single parents and
their school-age children. The unit supports five families who
live there until the completion of their nursing program
- Personal performance enhancement sessions allow parents to discuss
issues of self-esteem, interpersonal relations, problem-solving
and conflict resolution
- An assigned family mentor to help foster parenting skills, health
and wellness, goal-setting, peer interaction, socialization, team
building, decision making, growth and development for the entire
family
- An academic counselor to help the student nurse with academic and
clinical matters as well as work on study skills, test-taking
strategies and time management tactics.
