Traditional Four-Year Program

  • Available at: On-campus
  • Complete in: 4 years
  • Format: Hybrid, On-campus and Online courses

Program Overview

The Traditional Four-Year Program is designed for students with no previous nursing experience. The first year of study focuses on completing general education requirements, which provide the foundation for the nursing studies that begin in the sophomore year. The nursing curriculum combines both hands-on clinical experiences and classroom theory. Nursing coursework emphasizes clinical practice in a variety of acute-care hospitals and community-based centers.

Our small classes, personal attention, diverse student body, and affiliation with Mount Carmel Health System, one of the largest healthcare providers in central Ohio, all contribute to a rich and diverse educational experience that prepares students to competently and confidently assume the role of a professional nurse.

In addition to regular classes, our nursing and humanities seminars encourage students to explore personal health-related interests, and can provide you with rich cultural experiences. The Mount Carmel College of Nursing Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program prepares graduates to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN), administered through the Ohio Board of Nursing.

The Mount Carmel College of Nursing is fully accredited as an institution of higher learning by both the Higher Learning Commission and by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education is recognized by the United States Department of Education as the national accrediting body for all types of nursing education programs.

State of the Art Facilities

The Center for Innovative Learning features computer-driven, high-fidelity human patient simulators, which are life-like adult and pediatric mannequins that breathe, blink and bleed. Precise internal mechanics allow the patient simulators to respond physiologically to student interventions, enabling our students to see, practice and respond to real-life patient simulations without risk to actual patients. Students – individually or in care teams – train in real-time simulations under faculty supervision.

The Center for Innovative Learning is a collaborative system wide training facility for MCCN, Mount Carmel Medical Education and Mount Carmel Medical Staff, which enables members of the health care delivery team to work and train together as they develop new skills and processes, identify potential patient problems and implement patient-focused team treatment to enhance quality care and improve patient outcomes.
