School of Nursing: Bachelor's & Graduate Degrees in Nursing

As a nurse, your work is more than a job — it’s a sacred calling. You meet people in their weakest, most vulnerable, and joyful moments. To be the nurse your patients need requires more than skills and technology; it requires compassion, humble strength, and spiritual understanding.

PLNU's School of Nursing (SON) offers you a dynamic Christian environment to explore how to provide optimal healthcare through hands-on experience and research. You will have opportunities to build close relationships with other students and faculty in a rigorous yet supportive environment as you master evidence-based nursing practices and learn to serve your patients holistically. Whether you're a nurse in San Diego with your ADN looking to move to a MSN, or a nursing leader ready for advanced practice, PLNU has a program to fit your needs.
