- Cohort-based learning online or on-site format. On-site format is one night per week and one additional class online.

- Students may start the program immediately after graduation from an Associate’s degree RN program prior to completing NCLEX.
- Clinical assignments are incorporated within courses to integrate new knowledge and demonstrate attainment of outcomes.
