A Holistically Endorsed, Accelerated, Highly-Regarded Hybrid Nursing Program for Adults
The St. °µÍø½ûÇø nursing program is designed for adults who want to earn their nursing degree in a hybrid format.
Become a registered nurse (RN) — in a learning environment that embraces holistic, multicultural, and social justice perspectives on health and healing. St. Kate's offers the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program through a hybrid of online instruction, face-to-face instruction on our St. Paul, Minnesota campus, and hands-on clinical experiences at leading Twin Cities-area hospitals.
Our faculty are experienced and dedicated to helping you succeed. They will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to become a competent and compassionate nurse. Learn more about the process and prerequisites here.
In addition to the College for Adults BSN program, which is open to students of all genders, St. Kate’s offers two other options for students seeking to become registered nurses: a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in the College for Women and a Master of Science in Nursing: Entry-Level for people who have completed bachelor’s degrees in other disciplines and are seeking to make a career change into nursing.
When you graduate from our program, you will be prepared to take the NCLEX-RN exam and become a licensed registered nurse. Once you pass the NCLEX-RN exam, you are also eligible for your Public Health Nursing (PHN) certificate and to test to become a Board-Certified Holistic Nurse (HN-BC) through the American Holistic Nursing Credentialing Corporation.
We have a vast array of respected clinical partners who provide opportunities for students to learn to be excellent holistic practitioners and leaders in healthcare settings.
After finishing your BSN at St. Kate's, you can continue on with a Master of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, with Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Educator, and Dual-Degree options.
