Campus Life in St. Kitts

The International University of Nursing (IUON) campus on St. Kitts has a vibrant atmosphere providing a collegial environment among the students, faculty, and staff members all dedicated to nursing education. More than just intellectual stimulation, the campus provides a home for those involved in IUON. There is also a wealth of diversity, opening new learning vistas and insight into other cultures.

Our faculty members dedicate 100% of their time to the students. In fact, the faculty and staff members provide a level of support that goes well beyond that of most typical schools; everyone who is part of IUON forms a community within the campus. Community members provide physical and emotional support and caring - creating a better living environment for themselves and the island population.

Students are encouraged to take advantage of the various activities on the island, including golf, basketball, tennis, jogging, snorkeling, and other outdoor sports.
