WSU’s practical nurse to registered nurse (PN to RN) program offers you, as a working practical nurse, an opportunity to advance your skill base while advancing your career and earning potential in the health care system.

WSU's Associate of Science degree nursing program is designed to prepare you for entry-level clinical practice as a registered nurse. The program is structured for you to receive either an Associate of Science (86 credits) or an Associate of Applied Science (68 credits) degree.

After graduation from the associate’s degree nursing program, you are eligible for registered nurse licensure upon successful completion of the national RN licensure exam (NCLEX-RN).
