Welcome to the Department of Nursing

Welcome to the Department of Nursing at the College of St. Catherine. The College of St. Catherine has been educating leaders in nursing for almost 75 years. Nurses are in great demand both locally and nationally and nurses find great job opportunities as well as attractive salaries. Graduates from the College of St. Catherine nursing programs are well respected within the community and known to be knowledgeable, caring, competent, and well prepared to practice as responsible members of the nursing profession.


    The nursing programs offered by the College of St. Catherine are fully accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and meet all standards for the Minnesota Board of Nursing. In the Master's Degree Program, our Nurse Practitioner specialty options meet the criteria recommended by National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties as well as American Association of Colleges of Nursing.

    Because The School of Health offers four nursing programs: Associate Degree Program, Baccalaureate Degree Program, Master’s Degree Program, and our new Doctor of Nursing Practice Program (beginning Fall 2008), we can provide options for you to meet your career goals whether you are just out of high school, deciding to change careers, or if you already are a nurse, to expand your career horizon with further education.

    Our nursing students are well prepared for today’s world where the community populations are increasingly diverse and health care technology is changing rapidly. Our nursing faculty are dedicated, highly qualified educators, and offer innovative and creative approaches to teaching to meet the learning needs of our diverse student population and assure their success.
