  Coursework in the program includes lectures, on-campus labs, and clinical experiences at health care facilities. Both programs prepare students for beginning professional nursing practice. Upon completion of the programs and following graduation, students are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensing Exam - RN (NCLEX-RN). The programs are approved by Minnesota Board of Nursing.
