Renew Your Commitment to Excellent Patient Care

Continuing and Graduate Education for Nurses

Nurses are more involved in patient care than ever—as case managers, primary care practitioners, and advanced clinicians. You can renew your commitment to excellent patient care by continuing your education with Gwynedd Mercy University. Whether you want to prepare for nursing management roles, train the next generation of nurses as an educator, or provide primary care to children and adults, we can help.

All of our programs reinforce our commitment to:

  • Evidence-based health care based in nursing research and best practices
  • Developing a new generation of nursing leaders who are patient advocates
  • Improving health outcomes for all patients across the lifespan
  • Improving social justice through better health care for all

By choosing to continue your nursing journey with us, you choose to join a learning community that believes in what nurses can achieve for public health.
