Nursing Schools in Missouri (MO)

Called "the gateway to the west," Missouri is perhaps best known for the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, the St. Louis Arch represents the city’s important role in American history. St. Louis was the beginning location for the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which was charged with exploring the territory acquired by the United States in the Louisiana Transfer of 1804. President Truman, Daniel Boone, Jesse James, and a number of other people who have lent a lot to US history come from Missouri. Kansas City and St. Louis draw people who have a taste for adventure and change.
