Program overview
Example State University's pre-licensure BSN is a four-year, full-time program based at the Riverton main campus. Students complete general education and pre-nursing coursework in years one and two, then enter the upper-division nursing major after a competitive review. Clinical placements rotate across three regional partner hospitals beginning in the junior year, including pediatrics, medical-surgical, mental health, and obstetrics.
The College of Nursing is approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing and accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Recent NCLEX-RN first-time pass rates have averaged in the high 80s.
