Phot of nursing alumni

Kansas Wesleyan’s nursing program equipped me with the vital clinical skills and compassionate mindset needed to care for individuals from all walks of life. The close-knit ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community fostered meaningful connections between professors and students, creating a supportive environment where mentorship thrived. Through the program, I was given access to valuable job connections and professional opportunities even before graduation, setting me up for success. Beyond academics, Kansas Wesleyan encouraged a well-rounded college experience, allowing others and myself to remain actively involved in activities such as athletics and music while pursuing our nursing degree.

Scholarships and Employment

The Salina community and surrounding areas continue to benefit from an agreement between ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ and Salina Regional Health Center that was developed to expand opportunities for ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ student nurses by providing additional financial support for their education and then employ many of our graduates once they receive their Registered Nurse license.

Nursing Education Center

The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Nursing Education Center opened for classes Jan. 12, 2021 and was formally dedicated in a virtual ceremony Feb. 19 of that year. The building — ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s first new, on-campus facility dedicated entirely to academics in more than 50 years — was the culmination of a true community effort. Salina Regional Health Center and its foundation provided the initial impetus for the project by gifting both the building itself and a financial element. Many others invested in the future of Nursing Education in central Kansas by supporting this project.
