Sonoma State University Department of Nursing

Sonoma State University has been a leader in nursing education since 1972, when it began offering one of the nation's first R.N. to B.S.N. programs. Its dedication to professional nursing has continued through the years and the program has expanded to include Pre-Licensure BSN and LVN to BSN options in the Undergraduate Program, as well as Graduate and Post-Graduate programs with tracks in Family Nurse Practitioner and Leadership & Management (with specialty areas of Administration and Nursing Education) and a new Direct Entry Master's Program.

SSU's nursing program prepares nurses to think critically and exercise leadership in planning, implementing, and evaluating nursing care. Students and faculty work closely together to choose clinical practicums which meet the interests of the student and the needs of the community.

Sonoma State University's nursing programs are approved by the California State Board of Registered Nursing and accredited by the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission, from which information about tuition, fees and length of program may be obtained, either in writing or by telephone at National League for Nursing, 350 Hudson Street, New York, NY, 10014, 212 989-9393.
