Dean's Message

At the Capstone College of Nursing, we provide a stimulating environment in which to explore careers in today’s health care system. Our innovative courses of study prepare nursing students at the baccalaureate, masters and doctoral levels.

Let us help you find your place in today’s ever-changing field of health care. Nursing offers abundant rewards to those who are called!

#BamaBlitz begins tomorrow at noon! This year, our goal is to raise $6,500 to bring a Nursing Kid Simulator to CCN!

“Pediatrics is a very specialized field,” said Jessica Johnson, clinical instructor at the Capstone College of Nursing. “While a lot of the skills translate from adults to children, the way they are implemented is very different. I feel that Nursing Kid is going to allow our students to experience that and prepare them for what they will see in the future.”
