Nursing Program
Swedish Institute has been educating allied health professionals since 1916 and brings its dedication and commitment to holistic health care to registered nursing, one of the more traditional health professions.
Nursing is an art and science that promotes and maintains health while providing preventative, assistive, and restorative care for the ill, injured, and infirm. It is a form of holistic health care that addresses an individual's biological, psychological and social needs.
The Nursing Program will provide students with evidence-based learning and opportunities to acquire the requisite knowledge and skills necessary for their role as professional registered nurses. Our program features 675 clock hours of supervised clinical instruction in hospital, clinic and community settings and in our modern Simulation Laboratory. The self-care aspects of the curriculum will teach proper body mechanics and other techniques to insure longevity in the nursing profession.
