Our Nursing Program

Walsh University's Nursing programs prepare students for a career as a registered nurse - offering a strong academic program that's grounded in real-world experience and Judeo-Christian values.

Our Nursing program is a perfect fit for individuals who:

Have a desire to help people.
Enjoy working in clinical environments like hospitals, clinics and doctors' offices.
Believe in the dignity and individual health-care needs of all people.

We have three Nursing programs to choose from:

BSN Pre-Licensure Program - a four-year program for those who want to earn a degree and become licensed registered nurses.
BSN for the RN - a program for registered nurses who have an associate degree, or another type of diploma, who want to earn a bachelor's degree. Built upon the educational foundation and work/life experiences of a nurse, it's a flexible option designed for adult students that can be completed on a part- or full-time basis.
Accelerated BSN - a "second degree" program open to individuals who already have a bachelor's degree (of any kind) who wish to pursue a career in nursing.

Our graduates have proven track records of success.

For the third year in a row, Walsh University has the highest pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX)* of traditional Nursing schools in Ohio at 98.44%.

"This is a tribute to the quality of education provided not only by the faculty in the School of Nursing, but to all the faculty at Walsh University," said Dr. Linda Linc, Dean, School of Nursing.

In addition to a robust scientific foundation, the degree also offers the strong foundation of a liberal arts education.

Some examples of courses required for a Nursing degree are:

Anatomy and Physiology
Organic and Biochemistry
Human Growth and Development
Microbiology
Theoretical Concepts of Nursing

All of our students participate in labs and have clinical experience in nearly every nursing course. This helps them apply what they learned in the classroom to real-world situations. They go through supervised clinical experience in areas like medical-surgical, obstetrics, mental health, pediatrics, critical care nursing and community health nursing.
