School of Nursing

Nurses make a real difference. They care for patients in need of not just medical care, but comfort and compassion as well. If you want to help patients in need, nursing can be one of the most rewarding careers, with high pay, flexible schedules and ever-increasing job opportunities. Our nationally accredited Nursing programs are limited access, meaning that admission to the college does not imply acceptance to the Nursing program. Students must apply and be accepted to the programs.

Career Programs in:

  • (A.S.N.) Nursing, R.N.
  • (B.S.N.) Nursing

A Variety of Career Options

Jobs in nursing aren’t limited to hospitals. Nurses also work in schools, doctor’s offices, long-term care facilities, occupational health settings and more. Even more opportunities are available for nurses with post-graduate education. Flexible schedules allow nurses to achieve a work-life balance that best suits them.
