YOUR PATH TO AN EXCEPTIONAL FUTURE

For individuals who are inspired by helping others, there are few career paths more rewarding than nursing. Nurses are at the front lines of critical medical care, often having the first and most frequent interactions with patients in need. And as healthcare challenges across the country expand, so do employment opportunities for professionals in this field.

A career in nursing opens the door to opportunities in Adult Health, Pediatrics, Obstetrics, Psychiatry, and more. Key responsibilities include:

  • Perform physical exams and health histories before making critical decisions
  • Provide health promotion, counseling, and education
  • Administer medications and other personalized interventions
  • Coordinate care in collaboration with a wide array of healthcare professionals

WHAT MAKES THE KING'S NURSING PROGRAM DIFFERENT?

Regardless of your nursing experience, King's College in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., offers three pathways to get a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and boost your career.

For high school students

  • Our 1+2+1 Dual Degrees in Nursing Program is the only one in the region that makes you eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) at the end of the third year. As a result, you can jump start your career by working part-time as an RN during your senior year while taking your remaining courses online.
  • Our partnership with Luzerne County Community College (LCCC) ensures you'll have access to state-of-the-art facilities and a variety of clinical settings, including community health agencies, clinics, hospitals, and nursing homes.
  • Our program has proven success for our students. In fact, students enrolled in our 1-2-1 program achieved a 100 percent pass rate on NCLEX-RN at the end of their third year.

For registered nurses with a diploma or associate degree

  • Our RN to BS Program allows you to attain bachelor's degree in as little as one year.
  • Courses are 100% online.

For students who have a non-nursing bachelor's degree

  • We just started a new one-year Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing Hybrid program that allows you to take the NCLEX-RN test and begin working as registered nurses in just one year.
  • This program's hybrid component allows you to work alongside other nursing students and faculty.
CCNE accreditation seal

The baccalaureate degree program in nursing at King's College is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, 655 K Street NW, Suite 750, Washington, DC 20001, 202-887-6791. For more information, visit the CCNE website here.

WHAT CAN I DO WITH A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN NURSING?

According to the Institute of Medicine, there is a growing expectation in the industry that nurses have at least a bachelor's-level degree. In fact, professional nursing organizations such as American Association of the Colleges of Nursing (AACN) recognize a bachelor's degree as the minimum education level needed for most nursing careers.

In addition to long-term job security, BS in nursing degree holders can also expect better compensation than their peers. While RNs with a diploma usually learn the basics of clinical care, a BS in nursing teaches you communication, critical thinking, and leadership skills, which are necessary to access higher paying jobs.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for registered nurses with a bachelor's degree was $89,651, with employment opportunities expected to grow faster than average over the next 10 years.

Nurses with a bachelor's degree can even pursue a master's degree for positions like nurse anesthetist, nurse midwife, and nurse practitioner, which have a median annual wage of $125,900, with related opportunities expected to grow my 38 percent over the next 10 years.

NURSING PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Your success hinges on your ability to think critically and communicate with patients and staff. King's helps you develop these skills through our interdisciplinary approach, which enhances your development with a liberal arts education. Employers value students who not only possess technical skills, but can also write proposals, make presentations, and develop a broader understanding of the changes taking place in health care.

Our nursing degree curriculum also helps students learn the importance of social responsibility and the ability to make informed, ethical decisions. We place a particular focus on helping underserved patients through accessible educational programs, clinical practice, research, and public service.

1+2+1 NURSING PROGRAM

Our Dual Degrees in Nursing Program in partnership with Luzerne County Community College (LCCC) offers high school students a seamless and unique route to earning a BS in nursing in just four years.

You will spend most of your first and fourth years at King's completing the general education and upper-level nursing degree requirements. While you'll take King's core courses during your second and third years, you will spend most of this time at laboratory and clinical courses located at the main LCCC Nanticoke campus or its downtown Wilkes-Barre campus, located just steps away from King's.

However, you can participate in King's NCAA sports and live on the King's campus throughout the entirety of the dual degree nursing program!
