������������� Launches Accelerated Three-Year Bachelor’s Pathway in Arizona

Blended Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) pathway now available to Arizona residents

Salt Lake City – September 26, 2024 – Aspiring nurses in Arizona can now get their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in just 3 years. ������������� of Nursing and Health Sciences is broadening its current program offerings in Arizona to include a three-year BSN track, a degree that traditionally takes four years to complete.

In 2023, ������������� opened its popular Accelerated BSN pathway to career-changers in Arizona and now is expanding its offerings to include a 3-year BSN, designed for students with no prior college experience. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing pathway can be completed in just 3 years and requires no prerequisites to enroll. For career-changers with an existing bachelor’s degree in a non-nursing field, Arizona residents can earn their BSN through the Accelerated BSN pathway in just 20 months.

“Our mission is to make high-quality nursing education accessible to students nationwide,” said Dr. John Smith-Coppes, President and CEO of �������������. “By introducing our three-year BSN pathway in Arizona, we are offering students an efficient, high-quality path to a rewarding nursing career.”

�������������’s BSN program is characterized by its hybrid learning format, blending online instruction with hands-on training. Students will benefit from immersive experiential learning opportunities at Joyce’s state-of-the-art Simulation Center in Draper, Utah, where they will occasionally travel for hands-on skill immersions.

“We’re committed to preparing students for successful nursing careers, and our NCLEX-RN pass rates show it. Year after year, we exceed the national average,” said Dr. Kelly McCullough, Dean of Nursing at �������������. “With our blended format and no prerequisites required, students can start and complete their BSN program in as few as 3 years.”

What students can expect from the BSN program:

• Hands-On Training: Students engage in cutting-edge clinical simulation and direct-care clinical rotations, gaining valuable real-world experience.
• Flexible Learning: The program combines online coursework with skill development, allowing students to balance their education with other commitments.
• High NCLEX-RN Pass Rates: ������������� boasts NCLEX-RN pass rates of 94.81% for Q2 2024, surpassing the national average.
• No Prerequisites: Students can enroll without prior college credit prerequisites, making the program accessible to a wider range of aspiring nurses.

Enrollment for Arizona students is now open for both their three-year BSN and Accelerated BSN pathways, with the next cohort starting in the Spring Semester on January 6, 2025. �������������’s BSN program is also available in Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wisconsin.
