Healthcare

Riverland’s Healthcare programs prepare you for careers in nursing, medical imaging, emergency care, and rehabilitation. Explore three areas below. Most credentials stack, so you can start small and build up.

These credentials stack

Start with a certificate and build toward a diploma or degree. In nursing, for example, you can earn your Nursing Assistant certificate in one semester, go to work, then come back for Advanced Nursing Assistant or Medication Aide, then the LPN diploma, then the RN degree. Each one is a job on its own and each one counts toward the next.
