Holistic Preparation for Future Nurses

If you’re pursuing a career as a registered nurse, you need more than just technical knowledge – you need a program that helps prepare you to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of your future patients. At Liberty, our bachelor’s degree in nursing is designed to help equip you to serve others with excellence, compassion, and integrity in every aspect of care.

A Standard of Academic Excellence

Our Bachelor of Science in Nursing – along with our master’s, DNP, and post-graduate APRN certificate programs – is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), one of the most respected accrediting bodies in the field. This distinction sets you apart in the job market and ensures you receive a rigorous, high-quality education recognized by employers across the country.

Hands-On Experiences

We believe in preparing students for real-life patient care early and often. That’s why Liberty offers 550 clinical hours – 50 more than the state of Virginia requires for licensure. Unlike many nursing programs, ours allows you to begin clinical training as early as your sophomore year – giving you more time in the field and a stronger foundation for your career.

Nursing with Purpose and Integrity

In the high-stakes world of healthcare, nurses must be ready to act quickly and ethically. At Liberty, we not only uphold the Nightingale Pledge, but we also instill biblical principles that guide your practice with confidence and compassion. Our mission to Train Champions for Christ means preparing nurses who can bring hope, healing, and Christ’s love into every hospital and clinic they enter.
