The UAH College of Nursing understands that nursing school can be challenging. Between classes, clinicals, and personal responsibilities, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why we created the Engage and Excel (E2) Coaching Program, a personalized support system designed to help nursing students thrive, not just survive. E2 connects students with dedicated faculty coaches who are here to guide, encourage, and celebrate you throughout your nursing journey. Whether you’re struggling with coursework, preparing for the NCLEX, or simply learning how to balance it all, your coach will walk alongside you to keep you on track for success. What E2 Offers Through one-on-one meetings, small group sessions, and targeted workshops, E2 helps you build the tools you need to excel in both the classroom and the clinical setting. Key benefits include: Personalized academic guidance tailored to your learning style Strategies to strengthen study skills, critical thinking, and test-taking ability Support that improves NCLEX readiness and pass rates Coaching that builds confidence, resilience, and professional skills Early intervention when challenges arise, so you don’t fall behind Meet Your Faculty Coaches E2 Faculty Coaches are more than just advisors—they’re partners in your success.
