About

Sam Houston State University (SHSU) offers a variety of nursing education programs for students to explore. SHSU has the only Baccalaureate Nursing program in the region and its graduates consistently outperform their peers in the National Licensing Exam. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree is held in high regard and graduates are highly sought after by hospitals and healthcare institutions looking for experienced, reliable nurses. The university also offers an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and several certificate programs, as well as a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with specializations that include Nurse Educator, Nurse Informaticist and Nurse Practitioner. The faculty at SHSU strives to maintain a rigorous curriculum to ensure the education of its students meets the highest professional standards. Students can pursue the traditional BSN route or work part-time while completing their degree through the online delivery option. The curriculum includes traditional classroom instruction but also incorporates valuable hands-on practice through clinical simulations in SHSU's state of the art simulation laboratories. These experiences give students the feel of actual patient care in a safe, controlled environment before working with real patients. In addition to its traditional curricula, SHSU also provides continuing education courses to meet the needs of RNs and Advanced Practice nurses. Whether a student is just starting their nursing career or looking to advance, SHSU's nursing education will provide them with the knowledge, skills and experience they need to succeed. With their training and experience, SHSU nursing alumni are prepared to enter the workforce and make an impact in the healthcare field.
