News & Views
All alumni receive our semi-annual newsletter, News & Views. Through this publication, the Nurses Alumni Association keeps alumni informed of activities and events both within the association and the College of Nursing.
Homecoming
Each year, the college welcomes its graduates back to their alma mater for a very special reunion. Homecoming is filled with insightful presentations, tours of the Medical Center, and fun, informal get-togethers. In the evening, guests enjoy dining, relaxing and reminiscing at the formal banquet held in downtown Chicago.
Alumni Privileges in Rush’s Simulation Lab
The Rush University Simulation Laboratory (RUSL), established in 2002 thanks to a generous bequest from the estate of Mrs. Alverin M. Cornell, is a state-of-the-art simulation training center equipped with life-sized, computer controlled adult, child and baby patient simulators that enable all levels of health care providers to learn medical procedures in a highly realistic environment. RUSL also has skill trainers for airway and invasive line placement. But these simulators and trainers aren’t just for students — alumni are welcome to use the simulation laboratory. Special rates can be arranged for clinical refreshers in all primary and acute care specialties. Come alone or bring your team. Learn more at the RUSL Web site.
