As a nurse, you’ll spend your career helping patients live healthier lives. So, you already know how important it is to maintain balance by getting enough sleep, exercising routinely and eating properly. To help you with those goals while you're becoming a nurse, we’ve put together a list of healthy on-the-go food options in the Indianapolis area for those in our accelerated nursing program in Indianapolis.

Whole Foods or Earth Fare

McAlister's Deli

There are plenty of lunch and dinner options at McAlister's Deli. Located throughout Indianapolis and the surrounding suburbs, the restaurant offers everything from soups to quick desserts.

Noodles & Company

With locations throughout Indianapolis, Noodles & Company offers a selection of noodles, salads, soups and sandwiches. A favorite among Marian University nursing students, the restaurant is right down the road from our ABSN site.

You can order your meal ahead of time online if you want to simply swing by to pick it up.

Jason’s Deli
