From Our Students

"Being a transfer student from another state, the instructors have made themselves available frequently to assist me. Each instructor has treated me with respect and kindness. This program treats students on an individual basis on a professional level."
– Lauraine Alicia Big Medicine

"I graduated from NWC Nursing Program in 1994. Currently I work at WPH in the Intensive Care Unit. The training and advisement I received at NWC was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed the smaller class size and the individual help that I received."
– Jennifer Jones, RN

"When I turned 40 years old, I decided to become a nurse. Fortunately, NWC was less than 30 miles away. Having heard great things about their nursing program, I felt lucky to be accepted. Due to the excellent education I received, I felt confident when taking the state boards and knew I had been more than adequately trained to care for patients as a Registered Nurse."
– Libby Rindfeleisch, RN

 "I'm originally from Germany and am in my second year in the Nursing Program at NWC. The small class size is great, it is so much easier to learn, especially in nursing where learning involves us as people as well as students. Being from Germany where alternative medicine is mainstream I really appreciate the open mindedness toward other forms of health care. I love the program and hope that more students discover its many benefits."
– Petra Johnson, SN

"Thinking of a second career after working thirty years in the physical field of farming, I was able to choose Nursing, a field of study that offers opportunities for all working-age groups. If the idea of helping others who are in need of medical care occurs to you at any age, consider joining the students in the Northwest College Nursing Program. This field of study has given me the opportunity to enter a vast, constantly changing profession where my new skills are needed and appreciated."
– Tim Allison, SN

"I appreciate my experince with the NWC Nursing Program. I feel I have worked hard and learned a lot. I especially enjoyed the many different kinds of nursing/medicine at many different facilities."
– Rodney Tolman, SN

  "...at an age when most adults have settled in and established a career for life, I chose to change to a vocation in nursing. Nursing constantly will challenge you, involve you and put you in touch with humanity. Very few people are given one chance to touch someone’s life; a nurse is graciously offered several chances everyday. Nursing evolves daily into rewards that are not paid out in dollars and cents, but something lasting and endearing as seen in the patient’s and family’s eyes and faces as you leave them for the day."
– Rod Kunze, RN, BSN, CCRN, St. Vincent Hospital Billings, MT

"When I decided, at age 39, to make a career change, I chose to further my education by pursuing a degree in nursing from the Nursing Program at Northwest College. This program provided me with the professional knowledge and skills necessary to succeed as a registered nurse."
