Our Teaching Philosophy

Small Groups, Real Supervision

HPI’s faculty are guided by Jean Watson’s Caring Theory, which treats nursing as a science built on human connection, not just clinical technique. In practice, that shows up as low student-to-faculty ratios in the lab and clinical setting, where instructors can actually watch, correct, and coach each student rather than manage a crowd.

Common Questions

About HPI’s Faculty

Yes. Every instructor teaching in the Practical Nursing program is an Ohio-licensed Registered Nurse holding a BSN or MSN, as required by Ohio Administrative Code 4723-5-11 for qualifications of nursing program faculty.

Nursing skills need close, hands-on supervision to be learned safely. HPI caps lab groups at 20 students per instructor and clinical groups at 10, so instructors can catch mistakes and coach technique in real time, not after the fact.

Tuition and financial aid questions go to the Financial Aid Director. Admissions and staffing questions go to Human Resources. General student support goes to the Student Services Manager. Visit HPI's Contact page for direct emails and phone numbers.

Yes. Most PN faculty are full-time, and HPI also brings on qualified part-time instructors to support clinical and lab instruction as program enrollment requires.
