Roxborough Memorial Hospital School of Nursing
The School of Nursing was founded in 1898 and graduated five women in 1901. Since that time, the school has graduated over 2,000 men and women. Many of our graduates hold distinguished positions in nursing leadership, education, hospitals and other health related services.
The School of Nursing is a 21 month hospital-based diploma program accredited by The National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing. Through a unique blend of nursing theory, a strong clinical component and a focus on community service our students become extremely well prepared for their future careers as nurses. Ranking among the top nursing programs in Pennsylvania, over 95% of our students pass the National Council of Licensing Examination (NCLEX) for registered nurses on their first attempt.
In affiliation with Penn State University – Abington, our students can further their education obtaining their BS in Nursing in as few as six months after passing the National Council of Licensing Examination (NCLEX) for registered nurses shortening the typical four-year track offered at many other programs.
Roxborough Memorial Hospital and the School of Nursing have great faith in our mission and commitment to the highest standards of medical and nursing excellence. We are confident that our future is as bright as our past.
