Traditional Pre-Licensure Baccalaureate Program

The Helen S. Breidegam School of Nursing at Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ prepares nursing professionals who blend compassionate art with scientific inquiry and innovation to achieve a transformative education. At its core, the program develops resilient nurse leaders who collaborate with interprofessional teams to provide safe, high-quality care in a variety of settings. Graduates recognize their responsibilities within diverse, interdependent communities and embody ethics, lifelong learning, and service through a framework of social justice.


All our nursing students are exposed to a variety of clinical experiences and log over 900 hours in a variety of patient care, simulation and laboratory practice settings. Each individual clinical group is comprised of no more than 8 students.

All students are placed in similar types of quality clinical practice settings and benefit from two full rotations in community health practice settings. Rotations include the following:

  • medical/surgical
  • obstetrics
  • pediatrics
  • psychiatric/behavioral health
  • rehabilitation
  • critical care
  • home health care
  • community agencies

After four years of taking nursing classes in tandem with Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­'s LinC curriculum, you'll engage in a hands-on clinically relevant nursing research project and participate in a one-on-one precepted internship experience with a registered nurse in an acute-care hospital setting.
