The University of Tulsa offers a pre-licensure program for students who want to enter the nursing profession as a registered nurse. The program prepares them for the nursing licensure exam (NCLEX). They benefit from strong community relationships with local healthcare providers, excellent experiential learning activities, and highly personalized learning opportunities to help them make connections with passionate mentors and alumni.
Students begin clinical experiences during the spring semester of their sophomore year. This gives them five semesters to develop their clinical skills whereas most programs incorporate four. They can gain experience at a number of area hospitals and community agencies preparing them for employment in a range of health care settings after graduation.
