Connecticut is home to some of the most well know nursing programs in the country including the Yale School of Nursing and the University of Connecticut school of nursing. Connecticut’s largest employers are all healthcare companies, so earning a nursing degree from one of the nursing schools in Connecticut can help lead to an abundance of job opportunities as well as a prosperous career in nursing. In fact, a Boston Globe article reported that 90% of Connecticut nursing school graduates had a job lined up before their graduation.

Unfortunately, the nursing shortage has impacted Connecticut and one of the primary reasons is the lack of nursing school faculty to educate new nurses. By 2010, Connecticut will be short more than 11,000 registered nurses. And by 2020, that number is projected to double, leaving Connecticut with fewer than half the nurses it needs, according to a report by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). As a result, over the past two years Connecticut's 18 nursing schools turned away more than 2,000 applicants.

We are dedicated to helping alleviate the impact the nursing shortage will have on the state of CT by offering nursing programs in Connecticut that are fully accredited by the CCNE. Our nursing schools offer online nursing programs as well as campus based nursing programs with no wait list issues. The cost per credit of attending nursing school online is comparable to the cost at Connecticut nursing schools.

The University of Phoenix School of Nursing, Walden School of Nursing and Kaplan School of Nursing offer nursing programs for registered nurses, LPN's and LVN's including LPN to BSN, RN to BSN, RN to MSN and many more MSN programs with different focuses.
