What Our Students are Saying
“My favorite part of nursing school is the clinical component. Each patient has such a unique story and it is an honor to provide comfort and support to each patient and their family when they need it most. I also absolutely love our instructional and administrative staff. My class was approximately half way through the nursing program when the COVID-19 pandemic moved our classes online – and from the very beginning our instructors went out of their way to ensure our transition was as seamless as possible. Instructors consistently go above and beyond.”
