Meet Your On-Campus Support ![Student Studying for BSN Degree](https://arizonacollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Student-Studying-for-BSN-Degree.webp) When taking the first step to [enroll in a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program](https://arizonacollege.edu/admissions/) , it’s a given that you are signing up for rigorous academics. But what you can’t always predict are the hurdles life may throw your way. A last-minute gap in childcare, a chaotic work schedule, or an unexpected financial challenge can threaten to derail one’s nursing education just as quickly as a tough exam can. At Arizona College of Nursing (AZCN), we do not believe students should have to choose between managing their personal challenges and passing classes. [We offer resources](https://arizonacollege.edu/student-services/) that provide support through every step of your education, including with our Student Achievement Coaches. Student Achievement Coaches at AZCN are more than academic advisors. They are our students’ very own advocates on campus, helping you overcome barriers faced both in and out of the classroom. Here is a guide to how these coaches can support your academic journey. ## What Does a Student Achievement Coach Do? A Student Achievement Coach helps you succeed both academically and personally as you move through your BSN program. If you are facing a challenge outside of the classroom that may affect your ability to succeed in school, your coach is there to help find a solution. According to one Student Achievement Coach at [AZCN’s Salt Lake City campus](https://arizonacollege.edu/salt-lake-city-utah-nursing-school/) , there are multiple areas of support these coaches can offer students. “My job is to help locate any outside resources that students might need to overcome any personal barriers that they might be facing…[T]hat might look like financial assistance, childcare, any kind of help that might be coming from outside of the school to help them succeed academically.” ![BSN Program Students Sitting at a Desk in a Classroom](https://arizonacollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Nursing-Schools-Jobs.webp?w=1024) Student Achievement Coaches can help: **Find Outside Resources:** If you are facing personal struggles outside of school, your Student Achievement Coach can help locate external community support, including financial assistance, housing resources, or childcare. **Handle Stress:** Student Achievement Coaches are trained to help you de-escalate stressful situations and navigate the pressure of nursing school. **Manage Time:** Student Achievement Coaches work in the Learning Resource Center (LRC) and can help you learn how to manage your packed schedule of classes, clinicals, labs, and studying. From helping to build realistic study schedules to mastering a digital calendar, they provide creative scheduling formats that work for your life. The student achievement coach added, “One thing that we really like to work on here in the LRC is different creative ways to manage your time, different scheduling formats, whether that’s a weekly planner or maybe just learning how to use your digital calendar. We like to make sure that everybody has a good place to start.” ## Keeping Nursing Students on Track You do not have to wait until you’re struggling to hear from your Student Achievement Coach, and you certainly do not have to be the first to reach out. Student Achievement Coaches check in regularly and help you before situations become overwhelming. Student Achievement Coaches monitor grades, GPAs, and attendance to help keep you on track to graduate. These coaches can see how you’re navigating nursing school and your experiences through General Education and Core classes. If you need academic accommodations or tutoring, your Student Achievement Coach will coordinate directly with our Academic Support Coordinator. They can connect students with tutoring and other accommodations to help make their nursing education as stress-free as possible. ## Ask for Help At AZCN, we want to make sure you have a strong foundation to set you up for success long into your [career as a nurse](https://arizonacollege.edu/student-services/career-services/) . You should never feel like you have to suffer in silence as there is always someone on campus to help. In addition to our Student Achievement Coaches, you have access to a full network of support on campus: **Faculty Support:** Meet directly with faculty members during their office hours to go over academics, classroom guidance, on-site tutoring, or get specific questions answered before an exam. **NCLEX Success Specialists:** As you progress through Core, these nursing leaders help you [feel prepared for your licensing exam](https://arizonacollege.edu/accredited-bsn-program/nclex-exam-prep/) and future career. ![Staff Teaching Students in Clinical Lab](https://arizonacollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/BSN-Program-Nursing-Degree-Students.jpg?w=920) **Online Tutoring:** As an AZCN student, you have access to Tutor.com, a website that can support success in many courses. This resource provides additional support in subjects where you want more assistance. **LRC’s for Tutoring:** Visit LRC’s for academic support. These on-campus locations offer tutoring as well as group and individual study spaces. ## The Takeaway At AZCN, we believe in a collaborative approach to our students and their education and our campus resources, including Student Achievement Coaches, are there to help.
