The Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing Program at Sumner College is the only BSN program in Oregon and Washington State that does not require students to complete prerequisite coursework prior to applying.
Traditional ‘prerequisite’ courses are embedded in our program, allowing you to start working as a registered nurse in less time. We allow students who have completed college-level coursework at other institutions to transfer up to 25% of their credits, upon approval. Each credit transferred reduces your tuition cost.
Our remarkable 97.5% retention rate for the nursing programs reflects our unwavering commitment to helping our students succeed, from the moment you step through our doors to the day you graduate as a registered nurse. (ABHES 2022-2023 Annual Reporting Data). According to BLS, the average registered nurse salary in Oregon is $98,630, ranking one of the highest in the entire nation. Registered Nursing is expected to be one of the fastest growing professions as well, with an estimated growth of 15.2% over the next 10 years.
If your Dream is to become a registered nurse, we can help you get there. While most schools are only interested in your GPA, we are interested in you. Your acceptance is based on a combination of TEAS exam scores, a panel interview, and essays that allow you to tell us your story.
