Bachelor's in Nursing, BSN
Start your career faster with the same depth of clinical experience as other nursing programs in Chicago. After three years in Roosevelt’s nursing program, you’ll be fully prepared to take the NCLEX exam and become a registered nurse.
At Roosevelt, you’ll learn more than the essentials of nursing — you’ll learn how to analyze complex situations, make solid clinical decisions and offer compassionate care to your patients. Our program usually welcomes a cohort of 30 new students each year, and Nursing students build close relationships with one another as they learn and study together.
