Welcome to The Department of Nursing
Our Lady of Holy Cross College is renowned for producing some of the best nurses in the region. In fact, almost every one of our Department of Nursing students has a job waiting on them upon graduation where they immediately find themselves making a difference in the community. The Department offers a program of study leading to a Bachelor of Nursing degree (BSN) and our graduates are qualified to take NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses). To date, over 94% of our graduates pass the exam on their first try.
Why our nurses get hired
The healthcare industry is eager to hire our graduates because our graduates are unique. We combine a quality education and intensive clinical experience with our Marianite beliefs, which teach students compassion and healing in the Catholic tradition of Jesus and Mary, His Mother. This means our students graduate with not only a high skill level, but also a deep sense of dedication and caring born out of the OLHCC mission.
The Department is approved by the Louisiana State Board of Nursing and is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission.
