Nursing Schools in Utah - UT

Select a program of interest to learn more.....

The nursing schools in Utah have so many applicants they are having to turn away or waitlist two to three for every one that the accept. Utah nursing schools have not been immune to the nursing faculty shortage impacting the rest of the country. Witout the faculty there is no way to admit or graduate more students which in turn is making the Utah nursing shortage worse.

We are dedicated to helping Utah nursing programs graduate more students. This site features nursing schools in Utah that offer online as well as campus based nursing programs that are CCNE (Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education) accredited. The University of Phoenix has been very active in graduating more nurses over the last 5 years in Utah which has helped to infuse the state with more highly educated nurses with BSNs and MSNs.

A 2002 survey found that since 1995, nursing bachelor-level graduate rates have fallen 23 percent. This can be primarily attributed to the lack of faculty available to teach advanced nursing degree programs and the waitlists that have been created as a result. Registered nurses don't want to deal with this on top of their daily work schedule. That's where our featured nursing schools can help. Now a registered nurse can apply and start their RN to BSN or RN to MSN program without being waitlisted and pay a comparable cost per credit to that of the other Utah nursing programs. Take a minute to request free information from the featured online nursing schools in Utah to learn more about how they can help you pursue your professional and personal goals.
