College of Nursing in a Nutshell

  • Creighton University is rooted in Jesuit values and traditions. The lessons learned within our classrooms and clinical settings are centered on a faith-based identity, encouraging nursing students to make a difference in the lives of others.
  • Our students succeed—in fact both our undergraduate and graduate students exceed the national average for first-time pass rates on national certification and licensure exams.
  • We offer preceptorships at the nation’s largest hospitals and in rural and specialty hospitals.
  • Students gain hands-on experience through outreach and service in underserved areas, across the United States and abroad in places such as the Dominican Republic.
  • We’re fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

 

“Creighton sets its students up for success by ensuring they have all the resources they need, especially the College of Nursing.”
