You have a calling to help people heal.

The Arnot Ogden Medical Center School of Nursing can prepare you to answer that call through our program which has been training nurses since 1889. Our staff, who are RNs themselves, know the work of the nurse matters and are compassionate educators.

Throughout the program, students have the opportunity for direct patient interaction through clinical experience at Arnot Ogden Medical Center, which is coupled with in depth classroom training. After earning an Associate Degree, our nursing students are ready to work, to sit for the Registered Nurse (RN) boards or go on to earn advanced degrees such as Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP).
