Educating the Nurses of the Future

The past few years have highlighted nurses' vital role in our healthcare system. Emerging from the challenges of the pandemic, these true heroes have made significant impacts on patients, families, and communities alike. As we move forward, the demand for professional nurses and healthcare providers continues to rise, creating limitless career opportunities.

Nursing remains a meaningful professional pathway that offers the potential for a highly desirable salary right after college graduation. Nurses who possess an understanding of their patients’ cultures, communities, dietary practices, customs, religious beliefs, and languages can provide even more effective care.

The Nurses Middle College-Capital Region is dedicated to preparing the next generation of nurses through rigorous coursework, early college classes, and hands-on experience. Together, we will strengthen the nursing pipeline and enhance the diversity within the nursing profession.

Admissions Process

The Nurses Middle College is an open enrollment public charter school that enrolls students from across the Capital Region of New York. As a public charter school, we purposefully seek to enroll a demographically diverse student body as it is essential to our mission of diversifying the future nursing and healthcare workforce. When Nurses Middle College receives more enrollment applications than available seats, admission is determined through a blind lottery.

Nurses Middle College Capital Region will provide a high-quality, public school opportunity for students in grades 9 through 12 and prepare students for careers in the nursing and healthcare sector.

Courses Offered

The Nurses Middle College students are afforded a rigorous high school curriculum, early college classes, and exposure to the nursing profession. Students entering the 9th grade are encouraged to enroll as first-year students after successfully completing their 8th grade year at another school.
