Our exceptional curriculum fuses academic and clinical rigor with Christian values to prepare you as a skilled, caring professional who will excel in meeting the challenges of a rapidly changing health care scene. As a Canyon graduate, you'll find yourself actively recruited by employers who value the holistic emphasis of Canyon's nursing curriculum. Canyon graduates are highly preferred.
Canyon has a reputation of being the best nursing program in Arizona.
Our nursing faculty members, all of whom hold master's or doctoral degrees, are skilled teachers and respected professionals, with a deep commitment to their faith. Nursing classes are held in the Samaritan College of Nursing building, a modern facility equipped with a nursing lab and a Learning Resources Center containing computers and audiovisual equipment. Not only that, but your last course will be a 120-hour practicum, generally in the area of your choice. The practicum is an excellent way to 'put it all together,' easing the transition from student to graduate nurse status. Canyon nursing students spend up to one-third more time in health care settings than students in other programs.
