School of Nursing
Christian Healers
When your compassionate heart and calling to heal finds a proven and distinguished School of Nursing, powerful things happen. At PBA, we offer some of the most respected nursing programs in Florida, characterized by exceptional labs and facilities, opportunities to apply your skills in real-world settings and serve those in need.
Physical, Spiritual and Sociocultural
In the School of Nursing, we strongly believe, and teach our students, that true healthcare involves sociocultural understanding and spiritual encouragement in addition to the physical. You’ll find opportunities for hands-on learning in local hospitals, clinics and community outreach programs, as well as internship programs and service trips through the Gregory Center for Medical Missions. And upon the successful completion of your first semester of your junior year you’ll qualify to work as a nurse technician at most local hospitals. Our programs include:
- Bachelor of Science in Nursing
- Accelerated Masters (4+1)
- RN to BSN (Online)
- RN to MSN
- Master of Science in Nursing
- Health Systems Leadership
- Doctor of Nursing Practice
- Adult Gerontology
- Executive Leadership
- Family Nurse Practitioner
- Psychiatric Mental Health
Own Your Experience
Our nursing programs are among the best in Florida. And we’re the only Christian university nursing program in the state that’s nationally accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). As a student here you’ll have access to advanced patient simulation resources and nursing lab technologies. With concepts of faith at the center of everything you experience, you’ll gain a more well-rounded preparation. And we offer a program for high school seniors who, upon meeting the qualifications, can be pre-admitted to the nursing program.
