Beyond the Scrubs is a student-led, open-access resource hub designed to support pre-nursing and nursing students through accessible education, career pathways, and equity-centered healthcare learning.
Built with community college students, transfer students, first-generation learners, immigrants, and underserved communities in mind, this platform bridges the gap between coursework, clinical readiness, and real-world healthcare opportunities.
Nursing education should not be gatekept.
Access should not depend on privilege.
Beyond the Scrubs exists to make nursing education clearer, fairer, and more accessible.
