Harding University’s Carr College of Nursing has open seats for Spring 2019 admission.
Our program began in the fall of 2015. This fall we will have enrolled over 50 students in the program. We now have two graduate classes. In May of 2017, all graduates passed the national certification exam on the first attempt and all received a FNP job or residency placement. All students from the 2018 graduating class also passed the national certification exam on the first attempt. Almost all of the 2018 class is employed as a FNP (12/13), and the 13th student is waiting for just the right position.
The faculty and staff at Harding University seek to promote the professional knowledge, skills and attitudes of competent advanced practice registered nurses. We strive to prepare students for the clinical settings by their active engagement in courses and the week long intensives.
A few highlights about our program:
- We are primarily online, but do required on campus time each semester. The number of days will depend on the student’s plan of study. During on campus, we provide hands on skills (sutures, office procedures, exam techniques, etc.), spend time with our students with special parties, dinner hosted by faculty, time with peers, etc.
- Foreign missions/service learning opportunities while you are in school.
- We currently have a 100% national certification pass rate.
- Clinical practicum is completed within your home area.
- Smaller class sizes to assist with easy access to faculty.
