Love this program!! It's worth the extra year of nursing school; I feel by the time I graduate, I will be a well-prepared nurse!

I am learning an amazing amount every single day.

They are a very difficult school to get into, so the school will expect you to have your act together. They have very good customer service and are very willing to answer questions. It's best to try and get your information and then go to them with your questions.
Kyza from Colton, OR
An excellent school with a nursing curriculum based on holistic care. Teachers with active careers who are up to date on modern technological advances. A well known school with an esteemed reputation.
Michelle from Applegate, OR
