Is Nursing Right for Me? Which Program Is Right for Me? What Are the Opportunities in Nursing?
In 2023, Galen College of Nursing was awarded a Center of Excellence in Nursing Education™ designation by the National League for Nursing.
Today, fewer than 10% of nursing institutions hold this designation, which is designed for nursing schools or healthcare organizations that have achieved a level of excellence in a specific area. Through public recognition and distinction, the program acknowledges the outstanding innovations, commitment, and sustainability of excellence these organizations convey.
