St. John Fisher University
St. John Fisher University is a private, four-year Catholic university in Rochester, New York, home to the Wegmans School of Nursing. Its nursing programs are campus-based and built around classroom study, skills practice, and supervised clinical experiences with regional health care partners. Students typically complete a traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing in about four years, and may also find additional nursing pathways for advancing their education.
The curriculum focuses on the core skills nurses need for safe entry-level practice: health assessment, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, evidence-based care, communication, leadership, ethics, and population health. Students gain experience caring for patients across the lifespan, including adult, pediatric, maternal-newborn, mental health, and community settings. Graduates are prepared for the NCLEX-RN licensure exam. Compared with larger nearby nursing programs, Fisher offers a smaller university setting and a more personal learning environment, while still connecting students to the Rochester area’s clinical network.

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.
