Nursing Program
The University of Cincinnati Blue Ash Nursing Program has a long record of success and a respectable reputation among local employers. Our surveys show that graduates of our program are employed within nine months of graduation. Our graduates also have a high first time pass rate on the licensure exam. Our courses transfer easily to the College of Nursing.
The two-year associate of applied science nursing degree program at UC Blue Ash (UCBA) is approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing and is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission. It is designed to prepare graduates to care for people across the life span in a variety of settings. Nurses provide culturally competent, safe and effective care in a variety of settings including hospitals, long-term care facilities, home health agencies, hospice, adult day care or schools.
The curriculum combines nursing courses with general education courses in the humanities and sciences. In addition to five hours of classroom instruction, each week students engage in clinical activity for nine hours or more in hospitals, long-term care facilities, community agencies, the home or the college laboratories. Graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for registered nurses.
In addition to the traditional RN program, other options for pursuing a nursing education are available. An RN Completion Track for licensed practical nurses that gives credit for previous clinical practice experience is available for LPNs. Graduates are able to pursue their Bachelor of Science (BSN) degree from the UC College of Nursing through the RN-BSN Mobility Program.
