Nursing, B.S.N. (Pre-Licensure)
It takes more than just skill to become a nurse.

You will leave the program with a strong sense of professional accountability and responsibility and openness to life-long learning. You will become part of a learning community that will assist you in becoming a leader in health care.

“Immaculata University’s Nursing program helped me to develop the necessary skills, critical thinking, and nursing knowledge to begin my career as a B.S.N.-prepared registered nurse. An emphasis on simulation and clinical site learning provided me with hands-on experiences that not all nursing students have the opportunity to get. Classroom experiences included case studies and interactive learning to build critical thinking and clinical judgment skills. The professors' dedication to every student is evident. My professors worked with me and supported me every step of the way, even after I graduated and was preparing to take my NCLEX. My time in IU’s Nursing program taught me to nurse with confidence and compassion, and it has shaped who I am as a nurse."
