Answer Your Calling. Be a ÐÔ¸£ÎåÔÂÌì nurse.

ÐÔ¸£ÎåÔÂÌì offers nursing programs for everyone, from BSN to DNP & Ph.D.

Become an in-demand registered nurse (RN) by completing one of the most highly respected Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs in the nation. Offered at 5 campuses located throughout northeast Ohio, our program features clinical courses in a wide variety of settings and leading-edge simulation experiences. Our NCLEX pass rate is 96%!

Today’s nurses need a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) to stay prepared in the ever-changing health care field. That’s why ÐÔ¸£ÎåÔÂÌì offers flexible programs for Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practice Nurses (LPNs), Allied Health professionals, and non-nurses who already have a bachelor’s degree, to earn a BSN. Complete the BSN in much less time than traditional, 4-year students.

Move forward in your career in an advanced nursing role, such as clinical nurse specialist (CNS), nurse administrator & leader, nurse educator, or nurse practitioner (NP). Our flexible programs include many online courses and can be completed full or part-time. Some are 100% online and can be done remotely by nurses living in any eligible state.

Earning a doctorate can advance your career to the highest level in teaching, research, clinical practice, and more. ÐÔ¸£ÎåÔÂÌì offers both the practice-focused Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and the research-focused Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing (Ph.D.). Both programs feature highly-experienced and respected faculty and are also surprisingly affordable.

You are more than a number when you complete a degree or certificate online at ÐÔ¸£ÎåÔÂÌì, a leader in online education. We strive to provide online students the same attention and support as if they were attending class on-campus. We offer 100% online nursing programs at the bachelor’s, master’s, graduate certificate, and doctoral levels.

The ÐÔ¸£ÎåÔÂÌì University College of Nursing is approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing to award the Baccalaureate of Nursing Degree. Graduates of this program meet educational eligibility requirements to take the National Certification and Licensure Examination-Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN). For specific state RN licensure, students should contact the states in which they are interested in working. See the National Council of State Boards website and the ÐÔ¸£ÎåÔÂÌì Professional Licensure website for specific information about each state.

The baccalaureate degree program in nursing, master’s degree program in nursing, Doctor of Nursing Practice program, and post-graduate APRN certificate program at ÐÔ¸£ÎåÔÂÌì University are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, 655 K Street, NW, Suite 750, Washington, DC 20001, 202-887-6791.

Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) concentrations within the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program and APRN Certificates, along with the Bachelor of Science in Nursing to Doctor of Nursing Practice (BSN-to-DNP) program qualify graduates to sit for national APRN certification and APRN licensure in Ohio.  States other than Ohio may have additional requirements to apply for or obtain an APRN license, including but not limited to specific state examinations, letters of recommendation, or proof of completion of an accredited nursing program. The College of Nursing is in the process of collecting information from all states and has not yet made a determination whether graduates from the ÐÔ¸£ÎåÔÂÌì University College of Nursing MSN, Certificate, and BSN-to-DNP programs meet the requirements for APRN licensure outside the state of Ohio.
