Bachelor of Science in Nursing

The nursing profession continues to grow dramatically. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that “overall job opportunities are expected to be excellent for registered nurses,” and “RNs with at least a bachelor’s degree will have better job prospects than those without a bachelor’s.” Basically, there are not enough nurses, and there has not been enough nursing training.

The Rochester College School of Nursing is here to help you enter this successful and personally rewarding field. First-time college students can begin traditional nursing studies after they complete their pre-nursing requirements and are accepted into the School of Nursing. The nursing program will require three years to complete with a minimum of 126 credit hours.

Our nursing school will offer you small class sizes, excellent student-faculty ratios, and clinical work primarily with Crittenton Hospital.
