About CAN - North Jersey/New York Nursing School - Mission

The Center is a private postsecondary institution dedicated to providing quality education designed to prepare students for specific professional fields. The Center opened its first campus in Hackensack, New Jersey in 2003. The Center was founded to address the growing shortage in qualified healthcare professionals. The Center has three campuses. The main campus is located in Hackensack, New Jersey.  Branch campuses are located in Brandon, Florida and Ewing, New Jersey.

The Center strives in all its activities to provide an atmosphere which fosters professional and personal development, academic achievement and social interaction. Our curriculum prepares students for employment within their chosen disciplines by developing new and enhanced skills, expanding their knowledge base and awakening new intellectual interest.  

 

Our mission is to bridge the labor gap occurring in demand occupations and to train competent professionals who are well prepared to enter the job market.

 

The Center is located at 387 and 389 Main Street, Hackensack. Our Hackensack campus is located in our convenient, state-of-the-art learning facility that boasts over 15,000 square feet of classrooms, learning laboratories, and computer training areas. Our up-to-date equipment is reflective of that used in area health care facilities, including hospital beds, telemetry monitors, privacy curtains, KeriTM and GeriTM mannequins for demonstrations and clinical practice of procedures and CPR training, other simulated patient care equipment, and hand washing facilities.

The school has two entrances. The front entrance provides access from Main Street and the other entrance is located on State Street. The administrative hours of operation are: Monday-Friday from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, exclusive of major holidays (New Year's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and the day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day).
