LAFAYETTE, Indiana - As has become tradition, the St. Elizabeth School of Nursing will hold a Day of Giving on Wednesday, Nov. 19, which coincides with the Feast Day of St. Elizabeth of Hungary.

St. Elizabeth of Hungary, known as the “mother of the poor,” to honor her accomplishments of building a hospital and becoming a servant to the sick and the poor. Widowed at just 20 years of age, she chose a life of poverty and humility over wealth and influence.

For more than 125 years, the St. Elizabeth School of Nursing has prepared nurses to serve with skill, compassion and faith. 

The generosity of donors fuels that legacy, empowering future nurses through scholarships, enhancing classrooms with the latest technology and support faculty through the General Fund and helping students gain the tools and confidence they need to care for others. Various giving opportunities exist and every donation makes a difference.

“The Day of Giving is very important to everyone at St. Elizabeth School of Nursing,” said Michelle Gerrety, EdD, director, St. Elizabeth School of Nursing. “The funds raised benefit numerous programs and initiatives for our students and faculty. We are very grateful for all who take part in the Day of Giving.”

St. Elizabeth School of Nursing delivers an immersive nursing education to develop highly prepared graduates. Beginning in the first semester, students are provided with hands-on clinical learning experiences. All graduates earn an RN diploma from the St. Elizabeth School of Nursing as well as a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from the University of Saint Francis and are highly trained and prepared to meet the challenges of a nursing career.

St. Elizabeth School of Nursing is approved by the Indiana State Board of Nursing as a Diploma program and is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).
