Nicholls State University (College of Nursing and Allied Health Department of Nursing)

Nursing is a VITAL profession, and we make the difference in the lives of so many. As society continually changes, nursing is poised to EXPLODE, ADVANCE and EXPAND its role in service to meet head-on the health care needs of the world and certainly the community in which we live. My question to you…Do you want to be a nurse? If the answer is an emphatic YES!…then what are you waiting for? Many are “born” to be nurses, but most are “made” into nurses through perseverance, commitment, motivation, compassion, desire and, no doubt, hard work—it’s a major part of the equation, but just know that the outcome is sweet! Come LEARN, LIVE, LEAD with the Department of Nursing! VISION To be recognized as an innovative leader in the educational preparation of nursing and allied health professionals.
