Nursing, B.S.N. (Pre-Licensure)

It takes more than just skill to become a nurse.

Immaculata’s B.S.N. program prepares you academically, socially, and spiritually to practice within today’s complex health care systems. Building on the liberal arts and sciences, this College of Nursing and Health Professions program prepares students to care for patients at all stages of life, from birth and childhood through adulthood and into the later phases of life.

As a Catholic university, we incorporate strong values into our program, providing an environment that reinforces a sense of ethics, justice, and peace. 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.

In the 2024-25 school year, 89.39% of Immaculata University’s nursing students passed the nursing licensure exam (NCLEX-RN®) the first time.

“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."
