About Nurses Middle College (NursesMC)

NursesMC is a nationally-recognized school network created to address our nation’s need for nurses and a more diverse nursing workforce through a ground-breaking education model. Our public charter high schools provide unrivaled preparation for all students. Within two years of graduating, 95% of students are in the workforce and/or pursuing a postsecondary degree in nursing or another healthcare field. Demand is high for our program and we have fielded outreach from stakeholders in multiple states looking to bring a Nurses Middle College to their communities.

NursesMC™ public nursing high schools are the nation’s only full-time, four-year, comprehensive high schools focused on preparing students for college and a career in nursing.

What else sets us apart?

NursesMC schools use a rigorous, college-prep curriculum infused with nursing and healthcare content in all subjects.
Every student earns a minimum of three transferable college credits by dual enrolling at a local college or university. At our flagship school, students earn 16 credits on average.
Each student also graduates with an entry-level patient-care credential so they can earn while they learn. Students have the option of earning additional workforce credentials.
Students have regular opportunities for hands-on learning, in their classrooms and on site at local healthcare facilities. Professional nurses serve as teachers and mentors.
NursesMC is a 501c3 organization. Tuition is free and our high schools are open to all students who successfully complete the 8th grade. No prior experience is required, and students are admitted by lottery.
