Professional Education

The primary purpose of the Education Department is the provision of opportunities for personnel to gain additional skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary to perform their assigned functions safely and effectively. Achievement of this goal is an important contribution to the delivery of quality health care at the Republic County Hospital.

Republic County Hospital is an approved provider of continuing nursing education by the Kansas State Board of Nursing and as such offers courses for Continued Nursing Education (CNE). We also work closely with Cloud County Community College and the Northwest Kansas Area Health Education Center to provide for all our nursing education needs as well as the needs of other members of our healthcare team including physical and occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, and radiology.

Republic County Hospital is proud to have a number of American Heart Association Basic Life Support (CPR), First Aide and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) instructors as well as a Trauma Nurse Core Course Instructor as members of our healthcare team.
