SKC Nursing Department

Welcome to the website for the Salish Kootenai College Nursing Department. The SKC Nursing Program has been recognized for it’s unique focus on Native American culture and health issues, as well as culturally appropriate, evidence-based interventions.

The mission of the SKC Nursing Department is to provide American Indian nurses with the competencies required for professional practice and leadership in rural communities. The Department promotes collaborative partnerships that enhance the health and well being of tribal members, families, and communities. The program maintains partnerships with clinical agencies that provide students experiences in hospitals, community settings, clinics, and other settings that allow students to gain the competencies necessary for nursing practice in this time of rapid health care change.

Degrees

SKC offers both the Associate of Science: Nursing Degree (ASN) and the Bachelor of Science: Nursing Degree (BSN). The Associates program prepares students for licensure as a Registered Nurse and for practice in a variety of rural and Native American health care settings. The BSN program expands the level, complexity, and scope of practice for licensed RNs. If you are already a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), SKC also offers an LPN to RN program.
