MidAmerica Nazarene University

NURSING is a calling to promote wellness; to protect health; to prevent illness and injury; to alleviate suffering; to provide compassionate care; and to educate and advocate for individuals, families, and communities locally and around the world.

Our faculty and this program prepare you to take the National Council Licensure Exam for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN®). Our graduates regularly excel on this exam. For the last 9 years, our nursing graduates have exceeded the national pass rate, and for the last 11 years, they have exceeded the Kansas average pass rate.

The Virtual Patient Center offers state-of-the-art equipment for you to develop, practice, and hone the skills you will need to be an effective registered nurse.
