Proud to Be a National Leader in Nursing Education

Start on the path to becoming a registered nurse (RN) in as few as 21 months with our hybrid on-campus and online Associate’s degree in Nursing (ADN).

Already a licensed practical nurse (LPN)? Our LPN to RN Bridge helps LPNs go further with a degree in as few as 18 months.

Four start dates a year and no wait list at many campuses mean you can begin classes sooner, which makes getting your ADN the right move, right now. Once you have successfully completed your admission requirements, you’re in the ADN Program—no need to apply twice—and NCLEX® preparation begins the minute the program does. Your NCLEX® success is our goal, and that’s why we believe in hands-on learning from the very start. You’ll prepare to test with confidence—because sitting for the NCLEX-RN® exam is less daunting when you’ve been living the material, not just studying it. You can join our dedicated team of ADN graduates by enrolling today.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the projected job growth potential between 2022 and 2032 for registered nurses is 6%. An Associate's degree in Nursing (ADN/RN) online/on campus from Rasmussen University can help set you up for success in this growing field.
