Bachelor of Science in Nursing - Nursing

Saint Louis University offers a direct-entry Bachelor of Science in Nursing program featuring cutting-edge classrooms and clinical labs, study abroad opportunities, diverse clinical experiences, and a low student-to-faculty ratio in all clinical courses.

Undergraduate nursing students at SLU start their nursing coursework in the first semester with NURS 1400: Introduction to Nursing. As the program progresses, students will develop the skills to handle common nursing scenarios — such as chest pain, congestive heart failure, dehydration, confusion, and asthma — through hands-on training in our advanced simulation lab. Practice lab experiences begin in the fall of their sophomore year, followed by clinical experiences across all major nursing specialties.
