Nursing, B.S.N.

Major

Nursing is one of the most challenging, rewarding, and in demand professions in the world. GCU's B.S.N. program — conducted in partnership with Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey's largest health network — gives you the clinical training, evidence-based education, and professional preparation to become a compassionate, competent registered nurse. Small cohorts. Real clinical placements. CCNE accreditation. And a degree backed by a university that has been preparing nurses since it was founded.
