Thomas Jefferson School of Nursing (Geisinger Campus)
Message from the Assistant Dean of Geisinger Campus:
Welcome to the Jefferson Associate of Science in Nursing Program at Geisinger Medical Center. We invite you visit our campus; attend one of the onsite Open House events, and to consider applying to the Jefferson ASN Program. The first class graduated from the program May 2006. The Jefferson site at Geisinger Medical Center is located in Danville. Danville, a small community of 6,000 people, is located in central Pennsylvania approximately 3 hours northwest of Philadelphia. Geisinger first opened in 1915 and has expanded to a 437-bed Level I Regional Trauma Center.
The faculty at the Geisinger site are quality educators who will assist you in obtaining an excellent education. With an ASN, you will be prepared to take the RN licensure exam. The ASN curriculum has a strong emphasis on clinical nursing and provides optimum hands-on learning experiences. The goal is that graduates perform as excellent bedside nurses, and have the foundation to pursue further degrees in nursing. Students are admitted into the ASN/BSN Program to allow them to continue directly on for their Baccalaureate degree. Students have the option of continuing full-time or part-time.

I urge you to consider the Jefferson ASN/BSN program if you are seeking an excellent education in a 2-year program with the option of continuing on. The faculty and I wish you the best as you begin your education in nursing and we look forward to working with you if you select Jefferson as your educational provider. Nursing is a very rewarding and challenging profession that we hope you will embrace as your career.
