Wright State University

The College of Nursing and Health offers a four-year program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (B.S.N.). Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Nurses care for individuals and families from birth to death in local as well as international communities. Workplace environments can include newborn nurseries to elderly care facilities and school clinics to the World Health Organization. A nursing education prepares you to participate in research to improve the health of people and/or improve health care practices. The college has contracts with over 200 agencies in the area including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, county health departments, nursing homes, school systems, senior citizens centers, and daycare centers which can be used for clinical experiences and/or research. Students are introduced to the varied aspects of nursing through theory and research in the classroom. Outside the classroom, students will have clinical experiences in health assessment, maternity, pediatrics, adult health, community health, mental health, and complex care settings. Nursing students complete over 950 hours in clinical practice, laboratory, and simulated settings. Based on space availability, classes and clinical experiences may be offered days, evenings or weekends.
