What are students are saying...

Why would I encourage prospective students to consider The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences?

“On graduation day, when you are handed your diploma, you are receiving a well-earned reward that reciprocates an incredible educational experience. The Christ College experience will be “unlike any other” because it is a collaboration of coaches, mentors and preceptors in an environment conducive to the demands that will be expected of the nurse.

As a mid-life career changer, I needed an aggressive, intensive program with concurrent clinicals. It was important for me to receive a top notch education with the hands-on skills necessary to transition into the healthcare environment within the shortest timeframe. I was thoroughly prepared to be the nurse I am today, thanks to The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences. I am proud to be an alumnus of a nursing program that is so well regarded and highly respected by Cincinnati area hospitals.”

Kathleen Milner, RN –class of 2010.
