You Know Where You Want To Go

The first step to becoming a nurse is hearing that call from within. It's a feeling that your career is meant to be about more than money...about more than just a job. It's a confidence that your life is meant to be about contributing to the healing of others, while integrating your Christian faith into your work. It's a calling of stewardship and service in the name of God.

With your heart set on pursuing your calling, you know where you want to go. And, better still, you know nurses are in demand. You know you'll have your choice of careers once you're an RN. But, you may also know that many of the state's nursing programs are filled to capacity and can't accept all the students who want to attend. Many pre-nursing programs are also filled, setting a roadblock squarely between you and your dream.

Simpson University Can Help You Get There

At Simpson University, we have a solution for you. Our Pre-Nursing Certificate Program can help you move forward towards your goal of becoming a nurse...so you won't have to put your dream on hold. As a Pre-Nursing student, you'll earn the foundational coursework credits and many of the pre-requisites you need for admission to an outside AA (RN) or BS in Nursing Program, including chemistry, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, statistics, nutrition and psychology.

What Will Simpson's Pre-Nursing Certificate Do For Me?

 

• Give you the strong foundation in the natural and social sciences you'll need to understand the theoretical and practical elements of nursing in today's world.
• Provide you with the general education credits and many of the pre-requisites required for admission into an AA or BS in Nursing program at another institution. (While Simpson University doesn't currently offer an AA or BSN program, we will help you tailor a course of study to match the requirements of the transfer institution you choose to apply to.)
