Welcome

The Mark & Robyn Jones College of Nursing is currently undergoing a Policy and Procedure review process. As part of that process, we are eliminating the numbering system. New policies are listed by title only.  

Please bear with us as we go through the process of reviewing, approving, and converting our old (numbered) policies to new (website page) policies.

Please contact nursing@montana.edu or call 406-994-3783 with any questions.
