About the Misericordia Nursing Department

With nursing being one of the first programs offered through Misericordia University, our Nursing Department has been educating exceptional nurses to serve the health care needs of their communities for more than 90 years.

As the largest discipline within Misericordia’s College of Health Sciences and Education, we offer a variety of accredited undergraduate and graduate nursing programs that maintain high academic and professional standards that are grounded in the sciences, liberal arts, and evidence-based practices.

With a collective department focus on wellness, acute hospital-based practice, and community-based practice, you’ll find that we’re committed to giving you all the clinical tools and support you need to succeed in the changing world of health care.
