Nursing education

Welcome to Children's Wisconsin. Our goal is to provide high quality educational experiences for students in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs. Embedded in the mission of the Children's is a strong commitment to the education of our future work forces, your students.

The Advanced Practice Nursing/Nursing Student Education oversees and coordinates work with all schools of nursing. More than 620 nursing students from 25 affiliated schools of nursing from local, state and national universities, colleges and technical programs completed educational experiences at Children's in 2021. Children's provided 70,540 hours of nursing clinical education. There are various types of student placements including undergraduate and graduate experiences.

Want to avoid waiting for your IDs to be processed?

Send your group's headshots to Tracy a week before you come and we can send them to security to be processed ahead of time.

The pictures should be headshots with solid backgrounds.

The pictures should also be labeled with the student's names- make sure the spelling is correct.

If this is not an option, you will need to arrange a time to get your pictures taken. Wednesdays are the best days to schedule this if you are a precepted student since security is open from 8 to noon for IDs.

If this time does not work for you, you will need to email security at securitysystemsteam@childrenswi.org and also Sonja Donaldson at sdonaldson@childrenswi.org and set up a time that works for both you and them.  Any questions feel free to contact Tracy at 414-266-4739.
