This program is designed for students that wish to pursue a baccalaureate degree in nursing and eventual licensure as a Registered Nurse. The program is challenging and rewarding. Our program offers students the opportunity to practice in a variety of settings in both rural (Mankato area) and urban areas (Rochester & Twin Cities). Graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination–Registered Nurse (NCLEX–RN). Successfully passing this examination permits the graduate to practice as a registered nurse (RN). Graduates will have met the requirements for certification as public health nurses and licensure as school nurses in Minnesota. For eligibility for licensure in other American states, please review this document (PDF). For more information, please email [email protected]. |
