NCLEX® Certification

Upon graduating with your BS in Nursing, you will be eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN®). Our graduates routinely pass above the national average on the exam.  At the School of Nursing, you will:

  • Expand your knowledge and skill set, and develop your professional identity, guided by expert faculty.
  • Practice your skills with both traditional and state-of-the-art technology in our simulation labs.
  • Provide direct supervised care to individuals through clinicals at renowned hospitals.
  • Engage in enriching community-based clinical experiences.
  • Have access to international travel opportunities.
  • Participate in a 154-hour intensive practicum that will help you transition into professional nursing practice.
  • Be supported by dedicated academic advisors, who guide you through each semester’s course selection process.
  • Connect with fellow nursing students through cohorts. Our BS in Nursing and Accelerated BS Program combine groups of students together in cohorts. You’ll take a similar course sequence as your peers, so you’ll learn together and graduate together.
