Message From The Dean
Welcome to Charity School of Nursing at Delgado Community College in New Orleans. Whether exploring our webpage, or visiting our beautiful City Park Campus, you will note that Charity School of Nursing is a special place with a rich history and high standards of excellence. In addition to the welcoming atmosphere and picturesque setting, it is also a vibrant place to learn, to teach, and to work. Year after year, surveys of graduates and their employers demonstrate that graduates from CSN are well-prepared, respected, and highly sought after.
As the oldest and one of the largest nursing programs in the state, we are grounded in quality and well-known for academic and institutional success. In order to effectively address the ever-increasing health care needs across the communities that we serve, we currently produce over 200 graduates per year. We offer three program options: the Associate Degree Track (AD-RN), the LPN Track, and the LPN to RN Transitions Track. Additionally, we offer a Certified Nursing Assistant Program (CNA), as well as a Medical Assistant to Practical Nurse Program (MA-PN).
From a student learning standpoint, our new state-of-the-art Simulation Center, innovative teaching strategies, and committed faculty provide optimal learning opportunities across nursing and allied health programs while stimulating critical-thinking skills. Ultimately, our innovative approach to engaging student learners has revolutionized how we approach nursing education.
On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students, we are pleased to invite you to learn more about our programs.
