Student Life

Student Life at MCCN provides opportunities to develop leadership skills, become involved in campus life, and become acquainted with other students.  All students are encouraged to participate in co-curricular activities. For additional information concerning the three leadership associations or forming new student organizations, contact the Dean of Enrollment and Student Services. 

Student Nurses Association (SNAM)

The Student Nurses Association of Mount Carmel (SNAM) is the College’s affiliate of the pre-professional organization, the National Student Nurses Association (NSNA). SNAM provides a variety of activities and programs aimed at fostering professional growth and development, and honing leadership skills.

Students who also join the NSNA enjoy many benefits including the opportunity to participate in state and national conventions, preferential consideration for NSNA foundation scholarships, loans, professional liability insurance, and subscription to Imprint magazine. The College facilitates student attendance at workshops, seminars, and other educational opportunities.

Meetings are held monthly during the academic year and are open to everyone at the College.

Student Ambassador Program

The College Student Ambassador Program is designed to familiarize individuals throughout the campus and Columbus community with the offerings of MCCN. Students who are chosen to be Ambassadors represent the student body at various College events and are an integral part of MCCN communications efforts. These events range from casual to “black tie” affairs. Student Ambassadors perform a wide variety of tasks at these events such as: setting up the event, distributing programs, registering guests, and answering questions regarding MCCN.

Students chosen to be Ambassadors represent the “brightest and best” students at Mount Carmel College of Nursing.

For more information about the Student Ambassador program, contact the Admissions Office at  admissions@mccn.edu.

Representation on College Committees

Several College committees are structured to include student membership. Students who participate on College committees have voice and voting privileges within these committees. Students interested in participating on a College committee should contact the Dean of Nursing and Allied Health. Currently, students may serve on several College committees, including but not limited to:

1. Evaluation and Institutional Effectiveness

2. Academic Appeals

3. Academic and Professional Conduct

4. Alumni Association

5. Curriculum

6. Research and Scholarship

7. Policy and Procedure

Employment Opportunities for Students

Opportunities for student employment exist at the College, Mount Carmel Grove City, Mount Carmel East, Mount Carmel St. Ann’s, and Mount Carmel New Albany Hospitals (e.g., Student Workers within the College, Patient Companions, Unit Coordinators, Patient Care Assistants, etc.). Both part-time and casual employment is available. Part-time associates work 8 to 71 hours every two weeks. Casual status provides no guarantee of work hours since casual employees work on an as-needed basis covering weekends, vacations, and other busy periods. Students can view current openings at www.mountcarmelhealth.com and click on Careers > Job Search.

Applications are considered only for current vacant positions but are kept on file if there is no vacancy. Students hired into Mount Carmel Health System positions participate in the required orientation program.

Student Meetings/Gatherings

Students who wish to use the College facilities for a class or organization event must schedule the activity through the Office of Compliance and Community Affairs.
