Description

The AUM School of Nursing undergraduate program leads to a Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree; the basis for professional nursing practice.  The BSN prepared graduate is prepared to provide comprehensive care in a variety of acute, community and rehabilitative settings.  The baccalaureate curriculum provides a solid foundation for graduate study. All nursing program options have been developed consistent with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing -- Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice (AACN, 2008) and The Essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing (AACN, 2011). The DNP program has been developed consistent with The Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice (AACN, 2006). 

AUM nursing students received clinical training at Walter Reed National Military Medical Hospital in Bethesda, MD through ProjectSERVE (Student’s Education Related to the Veteran Experience). Each semester, students from all departments in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences work together in the Warhawk Hospital, a simulated interprofessional experience, to prepare students to work as a team in clinical practice. 98% of traditional BSN graduates have job offers at the time of graduation.

Traditional Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing Program is a pre-licensure program for non-nurses who have met the prerequisite course work and have been accepted into the limited access Nursing Program.
