Program Overview
The entry-into-nursing is a rigorous and nationally respected program that transforms students who are new to the field into top-tier nurses — professionals who can make an immediate and lasting impact in any health care setting.
Students complete their first two years of undergraduate education and required prerequisites before beginning the upper-division nursing program Ģý, which can be completed in as little as two years. Through their coursework, students build nursing competencies in state-of-the-art facilities, develop relationships with bright, driven students, and take part in engaging clinical experiences that challenge them to succeed in real-life situations and develop clinical decision-making skills. Simulation is integrated into all clinical courses.
Upon completing the BSN, graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN licensure exam, qualifying them for positions in a variety of health care settings. Graduates are prepared to succeed in a wide range of health care environments and have the qualifications needed to pursue graduate studies.
Newly admitted D.C. residents who enroll in UMSON programs Ģý are eligible for Maryland in-state tuition — a major cost savings on a top-tier nursing education.
The BSN program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
