Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing

Our mission is to prepare students for entry into the profession of nursing as competent, caring practitioners.

With a nursing degree you'll have the flexibility to shape your career as your needs change, taking opportunities that fit you best. You'll be in demand, making it easy to create a schedule that works for you -- full-time or part-time, weekdays, weekends or a combination of both.

Since our schools are located on hospital campuses, students have seamless access to clinical experiences. And, because our schools are affiliated with Northeast Health, the region's most comprehensive network of healthcare and community services, students will participate in clinical experiences in a variety of settings including hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, physician offices and daycare centers.

Each nursing course addresses holistic health and wellness of individuals and families across the life span. Holism encompasses physiological, social, mental, emotional, spiritual, cultural, and environmental needs of an individual and family for attaining optimum health and wellness. Through each course, students build from simple to complex when applying the processes of reasoning, problem solving, communication, teaching-learning, and continuous improvement. Students are introduced to the multiple roles and relationships employed to facilitate health promotion, restoration, maintenance, and support. Believed to be fundamental to the practice of professional nursing, caring, personal and professional accountability, reasoning and technical skills are applied in each course. A variety of in- and outpatient settings will support students in acquiring assessment skills and therapeutic interventions for individuals and families with differing needs.
