Our Mission
Bradford College of Nursing is committed to facilitate the education of students in ways that hold high standards of ethical, holistic, culturally competent, versatile and population-based concerns in collaboration with various partners in the healthcare industry in particular and the educational system in general. As we expand our current MA (Medical Assistant), CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), EMT B (Emergency Medical Technician Basic) and HHA (Home Health Aide) Programs, we at Bradford believe that our community, now more than ever, is in need of professionals in the healthcare industry that are not only educated and competent in their respective fields, but also carry with them an innate quality and ability to care for others in ways that they would care for their loved ones.

History
The history of Bradford College of Nursing goes back to 1996 when its mother school started a nursing assistant program with 1 instructor and a class of 5 students.  After 26 years of unbending commitment to the community, and having graduated thousands of capable Certified Nursing Assistants, Bradford College of Nursing is proud to continue a tradition of impeccable determination and dedication in providing excellent training in healthcare and other related fields.

Our Facility
The school is located in the heart of the City of Stockton. It is in an area that is also considered among the safer places in the City.  The facility has 3 admin offices, 3 classrooms, 4 skills lab rooms, a computer lab, a library, an equipment and supplies room, and restrooms. The school has CCTV security cameras around the building and is monitored 24/7. Parking is more than adequate especially for those attending evening classes. Restaurants, gas stations, and hotels are all within a one mile radius.
