Nursing at CCU
At CCU, nursing is in our DNA. We equip the next generation of Christian nurses to become exceptionally compassionate and competent professionals who are leaders in the industry — leaders ready to impact their world and transform healthcare by showing Christ's love as they minister to the needs of hurting people. The nursing programs at CCU will prepare you to be a highly competent and compassionate nurse — challenging you to impact both your profession and your world with the love of Christ.
We believe nursing is not simply a profession, it's a calling. Be it in the mission field providing care to orphans or in an emergency room providing urgent care, it's an opportunity to serve others with concern and excellence as you show the value of each person you care for and use your profession as a vehicle to demonstrate Christ's love.
