A job well done to our SNA students!

YSU Student Nurses support local Rescue Mission efforts The Student Nurses Organization at Youngstown State University (YSU) raised $500 throughout the academic year in support of the Rescue Mission of Mahoning Valley.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026 ADN graduates! On April 17, they received their nursing pins from family members during a special pinning ceremony. Their dedication and compassion will make a meaningful impact as they begin their nursing careers. Wishing them all success in the next chapter of their journey.

The Centofanti School of Nursing is excited to announce the winner of our Nursing Uniform Pantry Logo Contest: Ken Santha

His unique design will proudly be displayed on the uniform pantry.
The Penguin Scrub Hub is available to any student in the nursing program. Students can borrow gently used nursing uniforms and books generously donated by past students. This initiative helps ensure that everyone has access to the resources they need.

We gladly accept donations from past students—your gently used scrubs and books can make a big difference for future nurses!
Thank you to everyone who participated and shared their talents.

YSU graduate Allison Schuster enjoyed the flexibility of the online RN to BSN program, especially while working as an endoscopy RN. Studying alongside her daughter Abigail, who was earning a BSN on campus, made the journey to a bachelor’s degree even better. “It was special for us,” Allison said, remembering their time together as YSU nursing students. https://online.ysu.edu/degrees/nursing/rn-to-bsn/online-bsn-allison-schuster/

Congratulations to our BSN sophomore students

Pictures are some of our BSN sophomore nursing students in Professional 1. They are hard at work in the skills lab, building the knowledge and hands-on skills that will prepare them for success as they transition into the clinical setting.

Happy New Year! As we welcome the year ahead, the Centofanti School of Nursing extends its sincere wishes for good health, happiness, and continued success to all. May the New Year bring peace, growth, and new opportunities for personal and professional fulfillment.
