Nursing

Shenandoah’s nursing program is special because it has direct admittance. Many schools do not admit students into their nursing programs until the junior year, but at Shenandoah you know you are in the nursing program on day one upon admittance to the university. That also means that you can start taking nursing classes earlier than programs elsewhere. Additionally, nursing students are assigned a nursing faculty advisor upon entry to the university. Technology in the nursing program is integrated throughout the curriculum, and all nursing students participate in Shenandoah’s all Apple® technology program. We prepare our students for success – that’s why our first-time NCLEX pass rate is consistently above the national average. Our NCLEX first-time pass rate for the ’23-’24 academic year is 100% (to date) — one the highest among Virginia nursing programs.
