Answer your calling in five semesters

Ida V. Moffett once said, "It takes courage to care, to open the heart and act with sympathy and compassion." It's a defining characteristic of Moffett & Sanders  nurses: compassion and courage combined with deep knowledge and exceptional clinical skills. Nursing is more than a job. It's a calling for those unique individuals who are compelled to caring for and improving the lives of others.

For students who've already completed a degree in something other than nursing, we offer the five-semester second degree BSN option. This program begins with each fall and runs five semesters; students do not attend during the summer session. Many students enrolled in this program have family responsibilities and find the pace appropriate for helping balance career goals and personal responsibilities.

We've been preparing those called to our profession for 100 years, giving our graduates the knowledge, critical thinking and practice skills they need to effectively care for patients in wide variety of clinical settings. On the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN), our graduates consistently achieve pass rates above the state and national averages.

Employment rates of our graduates exceed the average and many graduates have opted to pursue advanced degrees upon completion of the program.
