Clarkson College has not always been a college. Instead, we began in 1888 as a school of nursing—the first in the state of Nebraska. Over the last 125 years, we've established a new campus, expanded our program offerings and adopted a new name. All the while, we've maintained a commitment to preparing our students to be the best in various realms of health care. This commitment to excellence has and always will remain a defining quality of Clarkson College.

Words of Wisdom

I’ve always considered myself to live by the idea of being “patiently persistent”. As a former student, as a clinician, and in life in general, if you are patiently persistent in working toward your goals, you will achieve them. Maybe not on the first try, and maybe not in the timeframe you had hoped, but patient persistence hasn’t failed me yet!
