Our Story
A Leadership Built on Care
Our founder, Cathy Ahrendsen, believes that nursing education is a calling, not just a curriculum. As a recognized leader in senior care, she has dedicated her career to fostering the next generation of healthcare professionals.
After the success of Moon River Nursing Careers in Northern Virginia, Cathy is coming home to Chapel Hill to provide the same high-caliber training to her own community.

Passion Meets Expertise
We’ve hand-picked instructors who don't just teach from a book—they teach from experience. Our faculty brings a wealth of knowledge across pediatrics, geriatrics, and acute clinical care.
At Moon River, we don't believe in "one size fits all." We take an individual interest in every student, adapting to your unique learning style to ensure you don't just pass your exams, but thrive in your career.
