Department Overview
The nursing department is open 24 hours/7 days per week during Fall, Winter, and Spring terms, and closed during summer and intersessions.
The infirmary staffs two registered nurses who provide care for students staying on the unit. In addition, nurses provide 24-hour telephone medical and mental health related advice. Outside of business hours, when primary care and counseling offices are closed, nurses can offer a first line of assessment and evaluation.
A medical provider and mental health counselor are available either on-site or on-call at all times.
Effective September 8, 2023, Dartmouth eliminated all fees related to overnight stays.
