This place was an overall great experience for me. The teachers and counselors went above and beyond to help in class and prepare me to get into the medical field. The teachers are all amazing, and I wouldn’t have made it without their words of encouragement and motivation.

The Reno Campus

In Reno, you can gain a well-rounded education that will prepare you for a successful healthcare career. Not only does this include hands-on exercises, but access to medical equipment as well as nursing simulation labs in the study of pediatrics, intensive care, and women’s wellness.

To accommodate our students, we maintain various classrooms, skills labs, computer labs, and resume workshop stations. In between classes, students can also spend their time in the campus lounge or library.

The virtual classroom experience is one of the many benefits of our BSN program. Since our curriculum is delivered in a “hybrid” format, you can enjoy both traditional and online classes.

The simulation center contains high-fidelity simulators and sim-view technology, including a Medical Surgical Nursing Intensive Care Unit (ICU). It features two furnished patient rooms: one for Pediatrics with infant and child simulators, a crib, and a youth bed; the other includes a birthing simulator, a bassinet for newborns, and a delivery bed.

Great school and great staff. I must say it wasn't easy being the oldest in class and having been out of school for a long time, but I worked my butt off and got a 4.0 GPA! I wouldn't have made it if it weren't for my instructor's help. I felt shaky at first, but I never felt judged because I was surrounded by beautiful people and my teacher was always there to guide me.
