The health care industry is fast paced and growing and in need of more registered nurses.

Registered nurses are the largest group of health care providers and work in a variety of settings ranging from schools, hospitals, clinics and health departments to name just a few. Registered nurses have both independent and supervisory responsibilities in managing patient care. In addition, RN's work with a variety of health care professionals and carry out physician orders to ensure quality patient care.
The program includes both instructional and clinical experience to provide the student with the knowledge base and hands on experience to provide safe and compassionate nursing care. The nursing faculty also strives to teach the values and professionalism nurses will need to have a rewarding career in nursing. Clinical experiences vary and will include eight and twelve hour shifts in facilities from the surrounding areas including Nebraska.
