Regent University offers a comprehensive suite of nursing programs designed primarily for working professionals and registered nurses seeking academic advancement. The School of Nursing provides a 100% online RN-to-BSN track, several Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) specializations—including Family Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Educator—and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). The undergraduate RN-to-BSN curriculum requires 120 credit hours, though students can transfer up to 90 credits, allowing for completion in about one year. Graduate programs range from 36 to 47 credits and are delivered in accelerated 8-week sessions, focusing on core competencies like healthcare policy, biostatistics, and systems leadership.
The curriculum emphasizes a holistic approach to patient care, addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the individual. While many programs are online, students engage in significant practical experiences through Shadow Health digital simulations and faculty-guided clinical practicums. Master’s and doctoral students complete specialized clinical hours in their home communities under approved preceptors, gaining hands-on expertise in diverse settings such as hospital systems and private practices. Graduates of the APRN tracks are eligible for national board certification, while the program’s focus on Christian leadership distinguishes Regent from other regional institutions. Consistently ranked as a top online program in Virginia, Regent is noted for its affordable tuition and its commitment to developing nurses as ethical influencers in the global healthcare landscape.

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.
