Nursing
Coe’s nursing program is elite, selective, connected and known for educating outstanding nurses.
As a nursing student earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, you will complete three full terms of 1:1 clinical practice with a registered nurse and meet on-site with faculty to discuss your clinical experience in real time. In addition to the two high quality hospitals within walking distance of Coe (and many within a 30-minute commute), clinical experiences take place in a variety of settings in specialty units such as intensive care, emergency, surgical, mental health, NICU, peds, labor & delivery, care coordinator as well as health-focused study abroad opportunities.
Nursing class sizes are small, allowing for individual attention and learning. Classrooms are highly interactive, promoting opportunities for critical thinking. Nursing faculty have doctoral degrees and are experienced educators and health care providers.
Our program offers a new ATI comprehensive review course to prepare for the NCLEX exam and produces consistent pass rates well above the national benchmark. Coe's nursing program is uniquely designed to facilitate a smooth transition into an RN position, nurse residency or graduate school. Our graduates are highly sought after because of outstanding clinical experience and professionalism.
