Northwestern Oklahoma State University

It is an exciting time to be a Registered Nurse!  Never before have so many career opportunities been open to RNs prepared with a BSN. The Nursing Program at NWOSU prepares its graduates to tackle the role of the professional registered nurse in a variety of settings and lays the foundation for its graduates to pursue advanced nursing education and leadership roles.       

The NWOSU Charles Morton Share Trust Nursing program is among the top in the state with the national RN licensing examination (NCLEX) pass rates. The BSN program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing, Inc. (ACEN) and is approved by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing (OBN). The BSN-to-DNP program is approved by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing.  The BSN- to DNP Nursing Program for the preparation of Family Nurse Practitioners has received full  approval from the Oklahoma Board of Nursing. In April 2014, we were proud to be ranked in the Top 20 National Nursing Programs by CollegeAtlas.org based on academic quality, accessibility, affordability, and program outcomes. The yearly application process begins in October.

Our nursing conceptual framework is based on Jean Watson’s caring theory and several other important concepts. 

The Kaplan Nursing Program Admission Test dates are available after October 1. Please contact Pam Hess, the Charles Morton Share Trust Division of Nursing Administrative Assistant, to schedule your exam at (580)-327-8493.
