TULANE NURSING – THE FUTURE OF NURSING IS HERE
EARN YOUR BSN IN JUST 16 MONTHS
Your Path to Practice-Ready, Community-Focused Nursing
Tulane University’s 16-month Accelerated BSN hybrid program is designed to prepare highly competent and compassionate nurses ready to serve the community. Our students train side-by-side with Tulane School of Medicine medical students, gaining hands-on experience, clinical judgment, and teamwork skills that set them apart.
Graduates are fully equipped to succeed on the NCLEX-RN® and, most importantly, to remain in and enrich the communities they serve, meeting the evolving healthcare needs of New Orleans and the surrounding region.
Combining Forces: School of Medicine & School of Professional Advancement
Preparing the Next Generation of Nursing Leaders
Tulane’s Nursing Program is a collaborative initiative between the School of Medicine and the School of Professional Advancement (SoPA), uniting the strengths of both schools to deliver an exceptional nursing education. Our program leverages distinguished faculty, innovative academic offerings, dynamic community partnerships, and a vast alumni network to provide students with unmatched support and opportunity.
Through this partnership, our hybrid Accelerated BSN program delivers an immersive, team-based learning experience. Students train alongside medical students, developing strong clinical skills and a shared commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care.
Rooted in service and driven by innovation, we are cultivating the next generation of nurses - skilled, competent, compassionate and ready to make an impact. Be part of our growth!
