Bachelor of Science in Nursing

We're always looking at what's on the horizon in health care so that you'll be ready to adapt to technological advances in nursing. Our Christ-centered, professional faculty have dedicated their lives to equipping you. You'll get a high quality education in medical surgical courses and all specialty areas including: critical care, obstetrics, pediatrics, mental health and community-based learning. And our graduates are successful — in fact, 100 percent of nurses who graduated from our program are working in their health care careers. Research shows 72 percent of employers want BSN-prepared nurses. And lower mortality rates, fewer medication errors and positive outcomes are an outcome of nurses prepared at the baccalaureate level (AACN, Oct. 2024).

So take advantage of the convenience of gaining experience and connections right here in the health care capital of the U.S. “Practice before you practice" in our on-campus, state-of-the-art high fidelity patient simulation lab. You'll be well-prepared when you get the chance to serve on medical mission trips at home and abroad.

Our faculty will tell you nursing is a rewarding career. It always gives back. Whether you decide to grow in the profession with more degrees or you're content where you are, you'll always be able to serve as a nurse. "Nursing is not only a career. It is a divine calling. The profession of nursing can provide job security and a comfortable income, but it is so much more than that. Aiding in the alleviation of a patient's pain, leading a dying patient in a prayer of salvation, or hearing words of affirmation and gratitude spoken over you after assisting a mother during the delivery her newborn baby — those are the eternal rewards — the ones that money can't buy," says executive director Dr. Chelsia Harris.
