Nursing (B.S.N.)

Graduates of the B.S.N. program at the University of Memphis are well-prepared to embark on diverse and impactful careers within the healthcare sector. Upon successful completion of the program, students are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN), a requisite for becoming a licensed Registered Nurse (RN). The comprehensive curriculum equips graduates with the skills necessary to provide safe, compassionate, and high-quality nursing care across various healthcare settings, including hospitals, community clinics, long-term care facilities, and public health organizations. Furthermore, a B.S.N. degree opens pathways to advanced roles such as nurse leadership positions, specialized clinical practice, and serves as a foundational step for pursuing graduate education in nursing, including Nurse Practitioner or Doctor of Nursing Practice programs. The program’s emphasis on evidence-based practice, interprofessional collaboration, and ethical decision-making ensures that graduates are not only clinically proficient but also prepared to take on leadership roles in the evolving landscape of healthcare. ​
