Support the next generation of healers at Montana Technological University

Dave and Sherry Lesar cut the ribbon at the Grand Opening of the Lesar Family Nursing Simulation Center in the Spring of 2022.

 

The Montana Tech Sherry Lesar School of Nursing has shown continued growth, and acceptance to the program is extremely competitive. The Sherry Lesar School of Nursing boars accolades such as 2024 Best Ranked Nursing Programs (RNCareers.org) and 2024 Top Ranked Nursing Schools (RegisterNursing.org) and graduates boast a 96% NCLEX-RN Pass Rate (academic year 2022/23). 

We are happy to share that we have been able to expand our enrollment opportunities thanks to the new 5,000 square feet Lesar Family Nursing Simulation Center opened in 2022 offering four simulation suites with the ability to flex space to hospital, home or office settings, debriefing rooms, and telehealth rooms. In addition, the center includes a nurse's station and medication room for student simulated learning experiences. The addition of the SIM Center has provided opportunities for a significant increase in the number of nursing students at Montana Tech and prepares our nursing students to care for our communities in the future.

Growing the Montana Tech Nursing Departmental Fund allows flexibility as well as funds to purchase unexpected but needed equipment for both students and faculty, and to provide emergency scholarship support for students. It provides an opportunity to invest in continued education for faculty including giving more of our faculty the opportunity to become SIM certified. We care deeply for the success of our students and for the growth of Montana Tech Nursing, a gift to the Montana Tech Nursing Departmental Fund is an investment in that success.

The Montana Tech Student Nurses Association promotes health and wellness in our community. Our mission is to mentor students preparing to convey the standards, ethics, and skills to be leaders of nursing. The Montana Tech Student Nurses Association is a club comprised of nursing students who wish to make a difference in the community. We do at least one community service event every semester, which has included clothing drives, bone marrow drives, making lunches for the local homeless population, and more.

The Nursing Department at Montana Tech has become a leader in education in the state, recently an independent study ranked the program as the #1 Registered Nursing Program in Montana, and we aim to keep it that way. Please consider investing in Montana Tech Nursing students making a gift today to any or all following areas: the Montana Tech Nursing Departmental Fund and the Student Nurses Association.
