Christian Nursing School in the Mid-Atlantic

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I am going to be a senior this year and I'm really stressing about picking the right colleges to apply to. I have this idea of a perfect college in my head.</p>

<p>The college HAS TO HAVE NURSING and that is the only thing that must be fulfilled. I would really prefer a Christian or Catholic college/university. </p>

<p>My idea of a perfect college setting is hilly with a bunch of trees. But I'm not loving the idea of it being "middle of nowhere." My two fears are having nothing to do and being in an ugly neighborhood. I love the old and traditional style looking schools and I hate the modern looking ones. I want to be near a city or urban area but not IN the city. I love the looks and campuses of rural schools but I wish they were closer to urban areas to have things to do and not feel like the total middle of nowhere. I am not a huge party person.
For example I like Wagner College because of the trees and pretty buildings and it is near NYC. Then I dislike University of Scranton and Wilkes University because of their location. Wilkes University is in an ugly neighborhood and Scranton just wasn't a comfortable environment for me. I hate the run-down ugly look of housing neighborhoods near certain colleges.</p>

<p>I realize I am too picky in making my list and I will have to compromise.
I could elaborate more but I know how confusing my preferences are hahaha and I'm not expecting to find a "perfect college" to match my personality.</p>

<p>Oh and I'm thinking (so far) of applying to:
UNC greensboro
UNC chapel hill
UVA
U Pitt
Duquesne
Wagner</p>

<p>I know these are all Christian/Catholic colleges but I'm hoping to expand my knowledge of Christian schools out there that have nursing.</p>

<p>Liberty has a very good nursing school. Campus is hilly and coming along. Very good fin aid. Very Christian.</p>

<p>-Belmont University (Southern, but in Nashville, TN. Also very close to Vanderbilt)
-Lipscomb (also in the South, but to be fair, Tennessee is only one state east of North Carolina)
-Catholic University of America
-Messiah College (suburb of Harrisburg, PA. Not sure if that’s too small for you or if you don’t consider that part of the mid-Atlantic)
-Seton Hall University (not as Catholic as CUA)</p>

<p>Georgetown

</p>

<p>Just for the record – Wagner is actually located in New York City (on Staten Island), not “near” it. ;)</p>

6

<p>UPitt, UVA and the UNC’s are state schools, not affiliated with any religion. Wagner started as a Lutheran school, but is not what anyone would call a Christian college now. You really need to do better research.</p>

7

<p>Pacific Lutheran University near Tacoma, WA, is known for their outstanding nursing program. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Pacific Lutheran fits this exactly. Here is the link: [Welcome</a> to PLU](<a href=“http://www.plu.edu/admission]Welcome”>Admission | PLU)</p>

<p>However, just looked at the “mid-atlantic” criteria. I’ll leave this entry for anyone looking for a nursing program without that criteria.</p>

<p>If Wagner still offers the BSN, that’s a good college in a great location! (Lutheran)</p>

<p>LaRoche in PA is not far from Pittsburgh and the campus is very pretty. (Catholic)</p>

<p>Eastern University in PA in another good choice. Also very pretty.</p>

<p>Messiah College in PA also has a good nursing program and is highly rated in both Christian and non Christian circles.
(Eastern and Messiah are non denominational Evangelical Protestant)</p>

<p>Calvin College is located in Grand Rapids, MI. The campus is close to (about 15 minutes away from) downtown Grand Rapids as well as has a nature preserve on campus. </p>

<p>I think it might be a school you would be interested in even though it’s in the mid-west. Check out the website: [Calvin</a> College - Minds In The Making](<a href=“http://www.calvin.edu/]Calvin”>http://www.calvin.edu/)</p>
