Positioned conveniently near area hospitals and with modern equipment on site, York College's nursing facilities offer everything you need to be prepared, knowledgeable, and skilled as a nurse. If you're walking around West Campus, it's hard to go far without seeing our students in their white scrubs — it's a proud day when you get them! — going to Diehl Hall, or heading out to care for patients at local hospitals and other medical facilities.
