What to Expect
At Concordia, we are committed to providing future nurses with solid footing. Students are admitted directly into the nursing major. During their first year, students complete foundational science courses and several general education requirements. Upon successfully completing the nursing program progression requirements, students are guaranteed a space in nursing courses and clinicals during their sophomore year. Our nursing curriculum pairs a liberal arts foundation with your science requirements. Nursing theory courses are taught by highly qualified nurse educators with years of experience in hospitals, healthcare, and other community settings. You'll be prepared in interprofessional communication, collaboration, professionalism, and leadership—all of which are integrated into our nursing program. Our experienced faculty is dedicated to your success … from your first day, through your National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). You’ll have the opportunity to practice your skills at Concordia’s Simulation and Skills Lab, which gives you the vital, hands-on experience you need to be set apart in the field. All of these things combined help to create a strong, holistic foundation for your future RN career.
Licensure / Certifications
States have established standards of practice for the nursing profession. While at the present time, we cannot provide a particular state’s educational requirements for licensing, we can assure you that we will provide you with the contact information for the state Board of Nursing for the state in which you are doing study.
