History

Established in 2003, Jersey College's nursing school was founded in New Jersey by Greg Karzhevsky and originally called The Center for Allied Health & Nursing Education. The aim of the institution was to develop highly trained and skilled nurses to work at New Jersey's largest home care agency operated by the Karzhevsky family.

In 2004, the center was approved by the New Jersey Board of Nursing to offer a Practical Nursing Program. The center expanded its student body and increased its staff of instructors and administrators.

In 2007, following its national accreditation from the Council on Occupational Education and approval from the United States Department of Education, the school opened a second campus in Tampa, FL. The South Jersey campus in Ewing, NJ opened [1] shortly after in 2009. The school was awarded approval for a Professional Nursing Program in 2010 and opened the Jacksonville campus. The Fort Lauderdale campus was created in 2012.

In November of that year, the school received approval from the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education and the New Jersey Board of Nursing to offer a Registered Nursing Program with an associate degree. [2] The Center for Allied Health and Nursing Education changed its name to Jersey College [3] to coincide with the pursuit of higher education opportunities. The college has produced more than 10,000 graduates in the nursing field.

In July 2014, the Jersey College campus at Tampa, Florida expanded [4] to a 40,000 square foot facility in Sabal Park, that includes two floors of observation rooms, computer labs, simulation labs, classrooms, a library, and a cafeteria. [5]

In 2016, Jersey College added its sixth campus through a collaboration with Largo Hospital by establishing a campus inside of the Indian Rocks campus of Largo Hospital in Largo, Florida. [6]

In 2020, Jersey College added its seventh campus through a collaboration with Community Health Systems at Bayfront Health Port Charlotte in Port Charlotte, Florida. The campus is located on the grounds of the hospital and hosts the Hospital-Based nursing track of the Professional Nursing program. [7]

In 2021, Jersey College added its eighth campus through a collaboration with Community Health Systems and Lutheran Health Network at Lutheran Hospital of Indiana in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The campus is located on the grounds of the hospital and hosts the Hospital-Based nursing track of the Professional Nursing program [8]

In 2022, Jersey College added its three additional campuses through a collaboration with Community Health Systems at Bravera Health Brooksville in Brooksville, Florida; at Physicians Regional Medical Center in Naples, Florida; and at Tennova Healthcare - Cleveland in Cleveland, Tennessee. [9]

In 2023, Jersey College added five additional campuses in collaboration with Northwest Healthcare in Tucson, Arizona; Commonwealth Health in Scranton, Pennsylvania; [10] [11] and Melbourne Regional Medical Center in Melbourne, Florida; [12] Tennova Healthcare - Turkey Creek in Knoxville, Tennessee; and Mountain Vista Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona. [13] In addition, a freestanding campus was opened in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, just north of Philadelphia. [14]

In 2024, the Dothan, Alabama campus opened in collaboration with Flowers Hospital; [15] the Mesa, Arizona campus opened in collaboration with Northwest Healthcare, [16] and the York, Pennsylvania campus opened in collaboration with WellSpan Health. [17]
