Nursing, Nutrition and Wellness

At Chamberlain we believe strongly that overall health and well being is not only enhanced through good nutrition and consistent exercise, but also that it is the basis for all that is necessary to making gains and success in academics and lasting emotional growth. The three nurses in the department work with our consultant nutritionist, our psychiatrists, and the clinical, academic and Student Life teams to ensure the students'  medical and overall well being needs are being attended to and included in ongoing treatment planning.

The nursing staff provide excellent daily support and care for students with a wide variety of medical conditions, including diabetes, Crohn’s disease, seizures and both environmental and dietary allergies. The nurses are available for students in the nursing office from 8-4 Monday through Friday and there is a nurse on campus from 2:30-10:30 nightly Monday through Friday.  A nurse is on call nightly and weekends for any medical or medication issue.

There is a small infirmary in the nursing office for any students with a significant illness that is unable to attend school. We also have an ongoing relationship with a local pediatric office that can see our students for any type of acute illness or injury.

The nursing staff at Chamberlain administer the majority of student medication but the director of nursing can delegate administration to staff that have been trained and certified by her.  Nurses monitor all student’s that take medication and communicate directly with the psychiatrists for any concerns that may arise related to medication.

At Chamberlain, the nurses also emphasize wellness, and the importance of a healthy diet and exercise to a students overall well being.  The nurses have initiated numerous health related activities including exercise classes, walking groups, step challenges and more.  The nurses will work with any student that has specific dietary or exercise needs and can create an individualized plan.  Nursing can also work with students regarding smoking cessation and various other health related topics.
