Experienced Faculty

You will enroll in classes taught by talented professors who have real-world experience in the subjects that they teach. Our faculty members have worked in a wide range of clinical settings that vary from the military and intensive care units to medical-surgical units and renal dialysis clinics. Students receive one-on-one attention when they visit professors during office hours to get help with class assignments and/or career goals.

Real-World Practice

All nursing students have access to the nursing program’s High-Fidelity Simulation Laboratory. The lab allows students to learn and practice new nursing techniques on life-like mannequins in a real-world setting.

Clinical Experiences

All our nursing degree plans include experiences in real clinical settings. Our nursing program has a strong relationship with hospitals and health care facilities in the San Angelo area, where nursing students are mentored by working professionals. Our students also interact with and assist real patients in preparation for careers upon graduation.

Nursing Careers

Overall job opportunities for registered nurses are expected to be excellent, and the U.S. Department of Labor reports that the employment of registered nurses is expected to grow by 22 percent by 2018. Nursing educators are also in great demand. ASU nursing graduates can expect to find work in such job settings as hospitals, physician offices, home health care services and nursing care facilities, among others.
