The curriculum offered by the St. Elizabeth School of Nursing – Saint Joseph’s College Consortium Nursing Program is a seamless integrated Diploma-Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) curriculum. The program prepares the graduates to become eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN). This program offers:

A diploma-based nursing program – Hospital tradition of early “hands-on” clinical experiences and approved by the Indiana State Board of Nursing and accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC).
A regionally accredited College – authorized to offer the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).
After successful completion of the NCLEX-RN examination, the graduate is licensed to practice as a Registered Nurse. To register in any other state, the nurse must apply for licensure by endorsement and meet the requirements of that state.
