Herzing University-Birmingham Nursing Programs in Birmingham, Alabama

A Registered Nursing (RN) program, typically an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN), provides students with the knowledge, skills, and clinical experience necessary to become licensed registered nurses. The program’s primary goal is to prepare graduates to deliver safe, competent, and patient-centered care across the lifespan and in various healthcare settings. Students learn foundational nursing concepts, including anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, microbiology, and nursing theory. The curriculum integrates classroom instruction, laboratory simulations, and clinical rotations. Clinical experiences allow students to apply their knowledge and skills under the supervision of experienced registered nurses. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN), the standardized exam required for licensure as a registered nurse. The program prepares graduates to address the complex healthcare needs of individuals, families, and communities.
