The teachers and administration of Arizona College really do care about us. In my first month, the Dean had a 1-on-1 meeting with me to see how I was feeling. I don’t think I could find that level of support anywhere else. Isabella Berry, BSN Program Class of 2022

Due to COVID-19, we continue to monitor guidance from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as local requirements to update our protocols as needed.
We believe in a focused and structured educational environment. Our curriculum is methodically designed to help you reach your career aspirations. From day one, our Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program is built to prepare you for a thriving career as a registered nurse (RN).
Students can progress through our BSN program of study in 3-years, or less with qualifying transfer credits. The first year is focused on general education classes, such as: The Fundamentals of Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Global Health. During year two you will transition into the Nursing core portion of the program and take courses like Pharmacology, Microbiology, and Human Pathophysiology.
In the final year, you will spend most of your time engaged in patient care alongside nursing and medical professionals. You will also take specialty classes on subjects such as Maternal Health, Pediatrics, and Community Health.
Our 3-Year Accelerated Nursing Program is designed to help you succeed in your career as a registered nurse (RN). Your journey after graduation from our Ontario nursing school begins with taking and passing the NCLEX-RN exam. Visit our NCLEX Exam Prep page to learn how preparation for the NCLEX is built into our curriculum. Below are a few quick facts to familiarize yourself with the exam.
The NCLEX-RN test allows 6 hours to complete the exam with as many unscheduled breaks you require.
The NCLEX-RN exam is graded as pass or fail, so you will not receive a numerical score upon completion.
Once you receive a letter that you passed your name will appear in your state’s Board of Nursing RN database.
