"I came to Ashland from Oregon because of three things: reputation, cutting-edge technology and affordability. I called multiple hospitals in the surrounding vicinity and the managers who hired Ashland grads told me those nurses were well-trained, professional and intelligent. AU’s College of Nursing and Health Sciences has excellent facilities and I feel very well-trained coming out of the program. It can be extremely expensive to achieve a nursing education and Ashland has a very reasonable price point—it allowed me to move 2,000 miles from home and afford living expenses while completing the 15-month program.”
