Indiana Nursing Schools and Programs

Indiana, also known as "Hoosier" state, stands proud in the Midwest with wonderful small town charm. Home to the Indianapolis 500, beautiful forests, caves to explore, and Amish pies to taste everyone is surely to enjoy themselves here while obtaining your nursing education. And remember, you can always write to Santa Claus, Indiana for your Christmas requests or perhaps that A on your exam!
