You care about the health and wellness of others — and want to use your intelligence and compassion to improve patient care. Our 5-year BS/MSN program will help you make a difference in the rapidly evolving field of health care.
Students complete an accelerated BS in Nursing curriculum prepared for the registered nurse licensure (NCLEX) exam. Upon passing, you’ll move into the graduate portion of the program, which consists of three components – foundational courses, primary care and research. We prepare students to deliver primary health care to diverse populations across the lifespan.
We have close relationships with the world-renowned teaching hospitals and research facilities that surround the Simmons campus like Brigham and Women's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston Children's Hospital, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Our students expand their knowledge by completing clinical rotations and practicums, attending lectures and taking advantage of research opportunities.
Simmons nursing students have a reputation for being the best and brightest in their field. Graduates of this program are prepared to take the family nurse practitioner (FNP) certification exam and find success in positions in a variety of healthcare settings and in Doctor of Nursing (DNP) programs.
This program allows students accepted into the BS in Nursing program at Simmons to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Science in Nursing in an accelerated five-year program. Nursing students with a minimum GPA of 3.33 overall and a minimum GPA of 3.33 in nursing courses may apply during their sophomore year. Progression into the graduate sequence is dependent upon the student attaining RN licensure and a GPA of 3.0 in all nursing courses.
Clinical and research are key components of our nursing programs. You'll have opportunities to explore your interests, build your skills and develop mentoring relationships with leaders in the field.
Our students put their knowledge into practice in many ways, including:
