This program starts in the Summer term with NUR-214 and is followed by two additional semesters of coursework.

NUR-214 is an intensive, accelerated course that covers a wide range of content in an expedited format. This accelerated course differs from the traditional nursing courses by taking only 10 weeks to review select content from NUR-111, NUR-112, NUR-113 and NUR-211, instead of the 42 weeks that traditional nursing students have to focus on the same material. For this reason, students need to seriously consider decreasing work and personal commitments to successfully meet the requirements for passing this course. Working full time or taking other college courses while in this course or program is not recommended.

Students are encouraged to schedule an appointment with a Perry Health Science Campus admissions counselor prior to taking prerequisite courses to further discuss the requirements for this program.

In the Fall semester following NUR-214, students are scheduled to take NUR-114 and NUR-212 alongside traditional nursing students. After successful completion of both courses, students will enroll in the final course, NUR-213, scheduled for the Spring semester. Upon successful completion of NUR-213, students will have met the academic requirements necessary to apply to take the NCLEX-RN licensure exam.
