Our innovative program combines virtual and in-person classes for greater flexibility and a condensed 14-month schedule. Graduates will be ready to start in acute care settings after receiving invaluable hands-on training and confidence with skills labs, state-of-the-art simulations, and the state’s only real-world clinical rotations in a hospital-based inpatient nursing unit.
