Nursing is an intellectually and technologically challenging career that enables you to help people by using your skills, training and compassion to make a difference in their lives.
 Nursing is both an art and a science. The science of nursing focuses on the patient's physical signs, symptoms and body chemistry. It requires mastery of ever-advancing healthcare technologies.
The art of nursing engages the patient's emotional well-being as you provide for the patient’s needs. Balancing the scientific component with its humanistic counterpart creates the foundation for excellence and success in this demanding field.
Now is a good time to become a nurse. Because of a shortage of nurses, “More new jobs are expected to be created for registered nurses than for any other occupation.”* (*Source U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics)
What this means for you is having more choices as to where to work and the ability to command a better wage. And you have many choices. Nursing is much more than bedside care. You can work in a wide variety of environments other than a hospital, including: offices, clinics, urgent care facilities, nursing homes, home health, public health, worksites and schools. (more)
Metro offers an Associate Degree Nurse program and Practical Nurse program. Both programs offer small class sizes with an excellent, experienced faculty at an affordable cost to students.
Our program goal is to educate the best bedside nurse who practices client care in a kind, caring, safe and efficient manner.
