Why Salem University for your RN Degree
Salem University’s nursing school is the best of both worlds: a focused degree program that also provides a foundation for further growth and learning. Students benefit from our small class sizes and our unique format, which means you take one course monthly (every 4 weeks), so you can fully focus on one instructional topic at a time.
We understand how important it is for nursing students to be able to practice the skills they are learning, which is why we offer so many opportunities for hands-on experiences through modern simulation equipment and simulated scenarios like you would encounter in a hospital or clinic. In addition, our clinical affiliations with dozens of healthcare facilities and organizations allow us to offer superior clinical experiences within a high-quality hands-on environment.
Since 1888, Salem University has been dedicated to producing graduates who are true global citizens and leaders, with the deductive reasoning skills, technological proficiencies, and multicultural and international awareness to make an impact in their chosen fields.
*Please note that clinical rotations for student nurses are very time-intensive. It is very difficult to prepare for an RN while working full-time.
