Student Testimonial

Jordan Arndts, a Drexel nursing student, holds a young child and smiles at the camera

My first day of nursing school was a clinical rotation. Not a class, I just went straight to Einstein's Philadelphia campus where an instructor had us get straight to work. It is the only accelerated program I knew of that had an introductory clinical, and for me that was a huge deciding factor.
