Why study nursing at Hope

Beginning in your sophomore year at Hope, when you start your nursing courses, you will receive hands-on, real-world experience in and out of the classroom. We want you to feel like a professional nurse right away.

From there, you will have the chance to study alongside our excellent faculty in research practicums, work at local hospitals during your clinicals and utilize our skills and simulation labs built specifically for the nursing department. Upon graduation, our students are employed within one year, usually much sooner.
