The Conway School of Nursing is designed to provide students the most real-world nursing experience possible right on campus.

Your State-of-the-Art Education Begins Here

Our building boasts over 16,000 square feet of simulation and lab space that mimics real hospital floors and offers state-of-the-art equipment for our students. These spaces help our students learn not only about the human body, the tools, and environment in which they'll work, but also how to compassionately care for the human person.
