Creighton University College of Nursing is part of Creighton University, a Jesuit and Catholic institution founded in Omaha, Nebraska in 1878. The nursing program began in 1920 and has grown into one of the Midwest's most respected nursing colleges, offering the BSN, accelerated BSN, MSN, DNP, and PhD programs. It is known for high NCLEX pass rates, strong graduate employment outcomes, and national recognition for its doctoral and advanced practice programs.
Students train in simulation labs and in clinical placements across Omaha-area health systems, with additional opportunities in Phoenix, Arizona, where Creighton operates a health sciences campus. The Jesuit emphasis on cura personalis, or care for the whole person, shapes a culture of service, ethics, and interprofessional education alongside students in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, and physical therapy. Small class sizes, committed faculty, and an active Bluejay community give students a supportive and connected experience.
