Idaho Nursing Schools and Programs

Idaho has an amazing outdoor community that will sustain and adventure or nature seeking person out there. Central Idaho is home to one of North America's oldest ski resort, Sun Valley; where the world's first chairlift was installed. Snow sports are one of the mainstays of Idaho, with a ski resort adjacent to nearly every urban area. Whitewater rafting and kayaking are among the state's major pastimes. The waters of Snake River rush through Hells Canyon, deepest canyon in the United States. Shoshone Falls plunges down rugged cliffs from a height greater than that of Niagara Falls. Surely the beauty of all this will keep peace in the life of a nursing student!

Idaho offers several nursing programs for prospective students which are listed below. The options of nursing programs in Idaho may not be as abundant in comparison to other states; however the level of education is still top-notch.
