Nebraska Methodist College

Updated: OMAHA — One of the most important decisions a high school senior will ever make is where to attend college. Every year, many of these students will choose to attend Nebraska Methodist College for the very same reason they say they want to leave cities like Scottsbluff and Gering, the small-town environment. For years, high school seniors have packed their bags and headed for Omaha with the small-town qualities of Nebraska Methodist College in mind. With an enrollment of nearly 700 students and a student-to-faculty ratio of 10-to-1, the college is small enough to care about the individual. Small class sizes allow for individualized attention, hands-on clinic experience in the first year, a comprehensive mentoring program and extracurricular opportunities. However, these students have also come to know Nebraska Methodist College as a premier health professions institution with 13 distinctive professional programs taught by a dedicated, talented and caring faculty. The college is large enough to provide fully accredited nursing and allied health programs, complete preparation for national certification exams, extensive hands-on clinical experience and instruction in the human anatomy/cadaver lab.

It’s time to remodel when autumn leaves drift in your window

Updated: With summer winding down, and fall only days away, we homeowners will soon spend more time indoors as winds start to pick up and temperatures start to fall. Unfortunately, that’s when we will notice that windows are leaking leaves; the paint is still peeling on the ceiling; and the bathroom is still too small for the needs of everyone as we rush to get ready for school and work. So, if you’ve been putting off a remodeling project, now is the time to visit your local lumber yard or consult with a contractor’s schedule so the work can be done before spring. The three main issues a homeowner has to face before beginning work on a remodeling project are: 1.What is the goal of the project? 2. How large is the budget? 3. Who will run the project?
