Student Life

It is the aim of Saint Anthony College of Nursing to graduate nurses who are well integrated in the community and who have had the opportunity to expand their scope of learning outside the classroom. Scholastic and recreational activities stimulate mental and social growth and provide opportunities for leadership and fellowship.

On Campus

Recreational Opportunities Saint Anthony College of Nursing offers designated areas where students are encouraged to relax. The Center for Sports Medicine and Health Fitness at OSF Saint Anthony Center for Health offers a variety of indoor exercise programs for nominal fees, and wellness courses are available for weight and stress reduction, as well as smoking cessation clinics. Students represent themselves through a student government organization. Student representatives and alternates are elected to attend faculty committee meetings and act as liaison between those committees and the students. The students will be encouraged to plan and participate in a variety of social activities.

Spiritual

One of the goals of the College is to provide opportunities for the student to develop an understanding of the Christian philosophy of life and its application in daily living as a person, a citizen, and a professional nurse. The College of Nursing and many religious affiliations in the Rockford area offer ample opportunity for students to enrich their Christian lives. Masses are offered daily in the OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center Chapel. These services are open to all denominations.

Students have the opportunity to plan special services and are encouraged to attend services of the religion of their preference. Names of nearby places of worship are available through the Student Services Office.

Each semester is opened with a Mass at the Medical Center chapel and all students and faculty members are encouraged to attend. There is a Baccalaureate Mass held at the completion of the Fall and Spring semesters.
