For more than a century, St. Joseph School of Nursing has been inspiring, educating, and partnering with students to ensure our region continues to have access to a deep bench of knowledgeable, empathetic, and well-trained nurses and allied healthcare professionals.
Our 1-Year Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) Track offers Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) the fastest path available to become a Registered Nurse. Completing our program will open the door to a wide range of career possibilities and work environments with patients ranging from infants to the elderly, and everyone in between.
Nurses who have their Associate of Nursing (ASN) can work directly with patients as healthcare professionals, with the opportunity to pursue a higher level of nursing later, while having a secure income in their chosen field.
St. Joseph School of Nursing prepares trainees for employment as a medical assistant. The team-based learning model focuses on a high standard of clinical skills, medical ethics, and professionalism to meet the complex demands in medical offices, hospital clinics, outpatient care centers, and urgent care centers.
Licensed Nursing Assistants (LNAs) provide direct care to patients in a variety of healthcare settings under the supervision of professional nurses.
Paramedics play a crucial role in healthcare, serving as the frontline responders in emergency situations. They provide immediate care and stabilization to patients experiencing acute medical conditions, trauma, or life-threatening events before they reach the hospital.
When St. Joseph School of Nursing first opened its doors in 1910, it was applauded by the community and seen as a vital asset in our Foundresses’ work to staff the newly founded St. Joseph Hospital, with competent and compassionate caregivers. The legacy of St. Joseph School of Nursing is deeply intertwined with and inseparable from St. Joseph Hospital, as it has been, and continues to be a vital department of the hospital.
Nursing is a noble calling, and no one reaches their goals alone. It takes a group of dedicated staff, faculty, alumni, friends, family, and donors to fully support our students. Each year, we put out our Annual Report in an effort to connect and stay in touch with alumni, donors, and friends of the program. This report shares inspiring stories of how we’re preparing students to reach their goals and achieve their dreams.
