Lenoir-Rhyne College

Being a nurse is one of the most impactful careers you can choose. You can go anywhere in the world and change lives, but it all starts at our renowned nursing program at LR

Started in 1910, the nursing program at LR is one of the oldest in the state and the first fully accredited program at a faith-based college or university. It is ranked as one of the best programs in North Carolina and is highly regarded throughout the country with more than 90 percent of students passing the state licensure exam each year.

Typically, most LR nursing students have already been offered and accepted full-time positions prior to graduating.

The School of Nursing provides baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs grounded in Christian faith and liberal arts. We educate nursing leaders who influence the quality of health care through the promotion of health and the management of illness in a global society.

The faculty strives to develop specific cognitive, affective, psychomotor and technological skills in students to enable you to work in collaboration with other members of the health care team and improve the quality of health care through the use of information technology, clinical judgment and research.

Nursing faculty believe that the development of nurse leaders is best accomplished within the context of a Christian caring perspective.
