Nurse Response offers a health advice line that specializes in the physical and behavioral healthcare needs of college students. Our goal is to empower students to be responsible for their health by keeping them informed of the services offered by their student health centers and other resources.

By educating students, Nurse Response believes that we can help to create a population of consumers who are better informed about health.

Nurse Response’s health advice line increases accessibility of healthcare for college students while decreasing overall costs through nurse assessment, health information, teaching and referral. Our student-oriented service acts as an extension of the student health center, providing referrals to available campus resources and high quality triage care to optimize the student’s health. With our staff of qualified triage nurses and nurse practitioners, we can ensure immediate and continuous access to healthcare advice for students 24 hours a day.
