Welcome to Salish Kootenai College Nursing Department
Director's Welcome
We welcome YOU to the Nursing Department at Salish Kootenai College!
This nursing program was founded upon the ideal of educating nurses to serve diverse populations in rural settings. Our small class sizes and unique clinical settings prepare our graduates for the challenges of these types of locations. Our nursing program embraces the Native American culture and prepares our graduates to be able to provide culturally congruent care.
The faculty and staff of this department are focused on the success of our students in both the Direct Admit BSN and the RN-BSN programs. After students earn their baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN), many continue on to complete graduate degrees in nursing and other fields.
On behalf of the entire faculty and staff of the Nursing Department, we want to welcome you. We look forward to the journey as you pursue your Baccalaureate degree in Nursing. We encourage you to become an active part of this program. It may be a difficult journey at times, but the rewards are great.
