Program Distinctives
Malone University’s BSN offers direct acceptance into the program for every eligible applicant, and students will begin nursing courses in their first year while gaining hands-on clinical experience beginning in their third semester. Malone’s BSN graduates have an impressive first-time pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN): 100% most recently in 2023, but also 2018/2019); and 96% (2020 and 2021). It's no surprise that 100% of job-seeking graduates are employed within six months of graduation! Program graduates will be prepared to work in a variety of healthcare settings as the post-COVID19 world creates continued adaptations in the field.
Malone University’s fully online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program that can be completed in as little as 24 months. The online modality provides more flexibility and accessibility for students who want to grow and advance in their career while still receiving support in securing clinical placements with preceptors, as well as an opportunity for hands-on learning experiences through three intensive, advanced skills lab sessions throughout the program. Tracks and post-graduate certificate options include Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP), and a Certificate in Nurse Education.
