At Truman State University, you will pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) through our four-year program. Or if you already have a Bachelor’s degree (or are close to earning one), we offer a program that allows you to earn an Accelerated Bachelor of Science in nursing (ABSN) in 18 months.
Our Nursing Simulation Center (NSC) has the look and feel of a hospital complete with high-tech medical equipment so you can become familiar with working with patients in a safe environment. Practice your critical-thinking and decision-making skills on life-sized anatomical models called “manikins” that have electronic heart, lung, and bowel sounds.
At Truman, you will find a lively and engaged community of learners. Your professors have a passion for the field and are eager to share their knowledge and nursing experiences. You are treated like a professional—and if you are struggling, you can count on help from your professors.
When you graduate, you will be well-prepared to function as a generalist in beginning positions in all areas of nursing practice including maternal, child, mental, adult, and community health nursing.
Over the past five years, an impressive employment rate for our nursing graduates has averaged around 96 percent. Our nursing program also provides a solid foundation for pursuing graduate study. Graduates who meet the requirements of section 355.066 of the State of Missouri Nursing Practice Act are eligible to apply for the registered nurse licensing examination.
