George Washington University
The George Washington University (GW) provides a prestigious nursing education that merges clinical mastery with a focus on healthcare policy and advocacy. While the university is anchored in Washington, D.C., the School of Nursing’s undergraduate and simulation-based programs are primarily delivered at the Virginia Science and Technology Campus in Ashburn. GW offers a 15-month Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) for second-degree holders, a Veterans BSN, and online pathways for RN-to-BSN, MSN, and DNP candidates. The BSN curriculum consists of 60 credits of professional coursework following prerequisites, focusing on core competencies like evidence-based practice, health equity, and patient safety.
Students engage in a rigorous clinical schedule, completing 540 clinical hours across diverse settings, including acute care and community health. The school’s Simulation Learning and Innovation Center allows students to refine their skills in a controlled, high-tech environment before entering rotations at top-tier regional medical centers. Graduates are exceptionally prepared for the NCLEX-RN, with pass rates consistently exceeding 90%. Recognized as a top 25 BSN program by U.S. News & World Report, GW stands out from nearby institutions for its deep connections to global health organizations and its commitment to developing nurses as influential policy leaders.

Programs
A BSN is a 4-year university RN degree, widely preferred by employers and required for many advanced roles, whose graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN.
An MSN is a 2–3 year graduate degree that prepares RNs for advanced practice, leadership, and specialized roles such as nurse practitioner or nurse educator.
A DNP is the highest clinical nursing degree, taking 2–4 years, preparing nurses for advanced practice, executive leadership, and policy roles—distinct from the research-focused PhD.
A post-graduate APRN certificate is a 12–24 month credential that lets MSN-prepared nurses add or change an advanced practice specialty without earning a second degree.
