Studying Nursing From a Distinctly Biblical Worldview
Our world is physically and spiritually broken, and to look after people's physical needs while meeting their spiritual needs with the love of Christ is a powerful act of worship to the Creator. Compassionate care is a direct reflection of Jesus' ministry on earth, and at Cedarville, you will be prepared to emulate Christ in this way, providing excellent care from a heart of mercy.
Biblical truth will be the foundation of your knowledge, and you will learn what it means to be a disciple in all aspects of your life. Studying nursing at Cedarville will open your eyes to the intricacies of the human body and the ways that we can treat it, which together serve as testaments to God's marvelous design and His plan of restoration through Christ.
“In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
