Where Jesuit Education Meets Excellence in Nursing and Paramedicine
Creighton’s College of Nursing is built on the strength of its faculty and the heart of a Jesuit education. Our professors are not only educators, but also active clinicians and researchers who bring their expertise into the classroom. This integration of knowledge and practice ensures students are prepared to excel. With first-time certification and licensure pass rates that consistently surpass national averages, Creighton nurses and paramedics enter the field with confidence and competence.
Beyond academic excellence, Creighton’s nursing and paramedicine programs reflect a deep commitment to service and justice. Students gain hands-on experience in some of the nation’s largest hospitals, rural clinics and through outreach in underserved communities both in the United States and abroad. Fully accredited and nationally recognized, the College of Nursing forms healthcare leaders who carry forward Creighton’s mission of healing and hope into every corner of the world.
Learning by Doing
Here, hands-on learning goes beyond traditional clinicals. Students sharpen their skills in state-of-the-art simulation centers in Omaha and Phoenix, practicing their skills in a safe and supportive environment. These experiences foster collaboration across disciplines and prepare students to deliver holistic, team-based care. Coupled with faculty-led research and innovation in teaching and practice, Creighton ensures that every learner gains the skills to advance healthcare in meaningful ways.
“Creighton’s nursing program is teaching me to not only take care of patients’ physical ailments but also help them to heal mentally and spiritually.”
