Nursing

The nationally-accredited Simmons nursing programs are recognized for providing rigorous academic preparation and clinical exposure. Our graduates have exceptional pass rates on the NCLEX-RN and NP exams — and they very quickly build successful careers. Preceptors and employers rate Simmons students as extremely well prepared.

Simmons attracts many types of individuals, current health providers, and career changers. For people with a degree in another academic discipline, our direct-entry program provides an accelerated path to becoming a registered nurse (R.N.). But that's just the beginning. We offer a number of options for earning a Master of Science in Nursing (M.S. in Nursing) in an area of primary care specialization, all of which include valuable academic and leadership training, as well as extensive clinical experience.

Simmons also offers dual-degree options in collaboration with the Harvard School for Public Health, individually tailored programs leading to a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (C.A.G.S.), and a nurse refresher course. A D.N.P.(Doctor of Nursing Practice ) is also offered in hybrid format: online and on campus.
