“We are proud to extend our presence into Provo, responding to the growing demand for qualified nurses and healthcare professionals in this community,” said NWC President Mitchell Fuerst. “The new campus will provide students with the resources they need to succeed in their nursing careers while also supporting the local community’s healthcare needs.”
At the new Provo campus, BSN students will benefit from beautiful facilities, including classrooms and specialized simulation labs.
