Chaminade’s Nursing program offers an accelerated track to students who have completed their general education and nursing prerequisite courses. Our BSN Accelerated Track allows you to complete your degree in five back-to-back terms (20 months) through a rigorous academic schedule.

You will have year-round courses that include hands-on simulations in state-of-the-art facilities and clinical experiences that prepare you for the rigors of the profession. Our accelerated track has the same network of support as our traditional program along with strong mentorship, personal growth and focus on providing quality care to all.

Refer to Chaminade Transfer Admissions for requirements and deadlines. 

Clinical courses are an integral part of the curriculum and mandatory for all students. Our partners require health compliance including being fully vaccinated (with boosters) before starting clinicals. At this time, there are no options for completing the nursing program without this compliance.

Health compliance may include but not limited to*: 

  • Current seasonal flu vaccination
  • 2 Step TB skin test or Blood test or a History of TB Chest Xray + screening form.
  • Most current COVID-19 vaccination 

*Please note that health compliance requirements are subject to change and may involve additional testing or paperwork depending on the clinical facility’s policies. 

Upon completion of the undergraduate B.S. program in Nursing, students will be able to:

  1. Utilize the nursing process to advocate for safe, holistic, patient-centered care across the lifespan, incorporating the Marianist value of service, justice and peace.
  2. Apply leadership and communication skills to ensure quality, collaborative, and continuous patient care.
  3. Integrate credible research with clinical expertise and patient preferences for optimal care across the lifespan.
  4. Incorporate informatics and healthcare technologies into the practice of professional nursing.
  5. Contribute to the safety and quality improvement of the healthcare environment.
