No matter your field, one of the best ways to learn is by getting real-world experience in addition to classroom knowledge. At Nebraska Methodist College, students have the opportunity to learn about the human body beyond the traditional classroom thanks to our human cadaver laboratory. As a component of NMC’s Human Anatomy and Physiology courses, the lectures and demonstrations provided in the cadaver lab benefit students in a variety of ways.

If you think the only way to get in the healthcare field is to complete a full degree program, you’re ignoring some great options. Healthcare certificate programs offer another way to launch your career, and the shorter timeframe makes sense for a lot of people.

If pursuing a degree isn’t ideal for your situation at the moment, it’s a good idea to look at alternatives, with the certificate route offering a lot of pros and relatively few drawbacks.

Today we’re highlighting one of the most image-conscious programs at Nebraska Methodist College:  the MRI certificate program!

MRI (that’s Magnetic Resonance Imaging to you and me) technologists have a unique job.  They’re highly trained in the usage of a piece of medical equipment that’s absolutely vital to a successful healthcare diagnosis.

Textbooks, tests, notes:  What you learn in your college classroom is essential, but the educational experiences that shape you outside the classroom could potentially be even more important. Not every aspect of healthcare can be summed up in a lecture or a set of multiple-choice questions.

It might be a nagging question, or something that takes you by surprise with its sudden clarity: Should I go back to school? Maybe you finished a program only to find that the career it led to is not as satisfying as you’d hoped. Perhaps you started college but never finished.

Whatever your circumstances, the question of whether or not to go back to college is a big one, but it’s one worth sorting through.

Choosing to transfer to a new college is a big decision, but it’s sometimes necessary in order to take the next step toward the career you really want. Coming in as a transfer student requires some additional admission steps and special considerations, so let's break it down into some of the most important points to remember:

Nebraska Methodist College recently held its 2015 Spring Commencement for Nursing and Allied Health grads, and with the big 125^th anniversary nearly here, the event was arguably more successful than ever!

You might already know whether you’ll need to take out loans to pay for college, but beyond that, the details tend to get a little jumbled, and it can be challenging to sort through the various options. One thing people tend to get especially confused about is the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Below is a breakdown of how they work.

If you’re thinking about going back to college, you might be wondering whether now is the right time. Here’s a secret: It’s never the perfect time. The truth is that people who are returning to college to complete their degrees or embark upon a brand new chapter in their lives face some unique challenges.
