Are you interested in becoming a registered nurse? If you want to pursue a career in nursing and have already earned a bachelor's degree, the RMU second-degree BSN program will prepare you for an amazing career as a professional nurse in as little as 15 months. Join us to learn more!
The Doctor of Nursing Practice Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner track offers specialized doctoral-level training for Registered Nurses who have a bachelor’s degree to become a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. The D.N.P. PMHNP program emphasizes clinical reasoning at the highest level, preparing graduates to be nursing leaders who deliver patient-centered care as members of interdisciplinary teams emphasizing evidence-based practice, quality improvement and informatics.
The M.S.N./M.B.A. dual degree combines graduate programs from the CCNE-accredited School of Nursing and AACSB-accredited School of Business into a unique online combined curriculum. Curriculum includes nursing leadership and management as well as core business education including finance and accounting and analytical models. The combined 51-credit curriculum, taught online in 8-week accelerated format, allows students to earn two degrees with 15 fewer credits than would be required taking both graduate programs individually.
The Post-graduate APRN Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certificate Program provides candidates with the educational foundation to diagnose and manage individuals of all ages experiencing psychiatric diagnoses.
Nurses have the opportunity to touch lives every day. The Department of Nursing is committed to helping students develop strong technical skills, as well as the clinical judgment and critical thinking necessary to succeed in a rapidly changing healthcare system.
The M.S.N. in Nursing Education is designed to build mastery of educational process and practical experiences in order to prepare students to be effective educators and leaders. The curriculum combines strong interdisciplinary courses in education while focused nursing courses develop expertise in teaching and presentation methods that incorporate the use of pedagogy, technology, and clinical expertise in teaching healthcare professionals.
RMU is proud to announce that its most recent cohorts of nursing graduates have achieved a remarkable 100% pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). This achievement underscores our program's success in preparing students for in-demand careers and showcases the strength of its innovative educational approach.
