Nursing

About the Program

To make your way as a nurse in our modern healthcare system, you need more than practical training. You need to develop creative, critical thinking, analytical, and communications skills so strong that they will never desert you no matter how stressful the conditions under which you practice.

Thiel College has formed a strategic partnership with the Sharon Regional Medical Center’s School of Nursing, which has been preparing students to practice as registered nurses since 1899. This experience combined with Thiel’s century and a half tradition of education in the liberal arts and sciences means you don’t have to sacrifice either state-of -the art scientific training or the benefits of a liberal arts education.
