Clinical Nursing Application for Advancement (Combined) | Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation

Students must complete and submit the Clinical Nursing Advancement Application to be considered for Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation’s spring 2027 clinical nursing programs, which include the Traditional BSN and Accelerated BSN pathways.

For additional information about each program’s structure, prerequisites, timelines, and requirements, please review the advancement guides available on the Clinical Nursing Advancement website.

Available Clinical Programs

Traditional BSN

The Traditional BSN is a full-time four-semester program requiring a total of 63 credit hours. Students complete 15-16 credit hours per semester, including theory, lab and clinical rotations. Applicants may qualify through direct admission or by applying through the competitive advancement process. In spring 2027, the Traditional BSN is offered at the Downtown Phoenix, Polytechnic and West Valley campuses.

Accelerated BSN

The Accelerated BSN is a 12-month, full-time program requiring a total of 50 credit hours over three consecutive terms (spring, summer, fall), including theory, lab and clinical rotations. All applicants are considered through the competitive advancement process. In spring 2027, the Accelerated BSN is offered at the Downtown Phoenix campus and through Learn Where You Live.

BSN Advancement Pathways

There are three types of applicants for the BSN programs:

Direct Admission applicants are first-degree seeking students who earned this status upon entering ASU as a freshman and have met continuing eligibility criteria each semester.
First-degree applicants are students who are working towards completion of their first bachelor’s degree and will not have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution when the spring 2027 clinical nursing program begins.
Postbaccalaureate applicants are students who have obtained or will obtain a bachelor’s degree from a U.S. regionally accredited institution or recognized international institution before the clinical nursing program begins in spring 2027, and who are applying for an additional bachelor’s degree in nursing from ASU. Postbaccalaureate applicants should also consider applying for the MS Nursing (Entry to Nursing Practice) program.

Important Reminder

Edson College is offering drop-in advising sessions. Attending a drop-in session is highly recommended to help you stay on track, avoid common mistakes, and prevent delays that could affect your eligibility.

Applicants who do not complete their required items by October 1 will be classified as late applicants and will only be considered for advancement if all requirements are eventually met and if space permits.

Students who are identified for advancement or alternate status must then complete the remaining health and safety items, including the drug screening, criminal background check, and Statement of Health Clearance, by November 1 to maintain their eligibility.

I acknowledge that I have read and understand the contents of the spring 2027 advancement guide for the clinical nursing program, including all linked documents.

I acknowledge that it is highly recommended that my application, including my course information worksheet (CIW), is reviewed by an Edson College academic advisor before submitting it to ensure all items have been successfully submitted. If I decline to have my application materials reviewed before submission, I understand that my application may be withdrawn if there are missing/incomplete materials.

I acknowledge that I am responsible for providing accurate and complete information in this application. I understand that providing false or misleading information may result in withdrawal from the clinical nursing program at any time. I acknowledge that only complete applications with all required documentation submitted by the published deadlines will be considered for advancement. I understand that failure to provide accurate information is a violation of the ASU Academic Integrity Policy, which may result in forfeiture of my application.

ASU Academic Integrity Policy

The anticipated timeline for notifying students of their advancement status is October 9, 2026. Notification of advancement, and all other correspondence, will be sent via email. I am responsible to ensure proper access to my e-mail account, and that it is accessed, read, and acted upon in a timely manner. It is my responsibility to seek technical support to address email issues.

I acknowledge that to be considered for advancement, I must create a Complio account by the priority advancement deadline and meet all health and safety requirements in Complio by October 1, 2026 except for the drug screening, criminal background check and statement of health clearance.

If I am selected to advance, or if I am selected as an alternate, I acknowledge that the remaining health and safety requirements (including the drug screening, criminal background check and statement of health clearance) will be due November 1, 2026. This date is subject to change and the final deadline will be shared in advancement status notices. I understand that if I do not meet the health and safety requirements by the provided final deadline, my space in the program will be forfeited.

I acknowledge that if I advance to the nursing program, my clinical schedule will vary from semester to semester, and even within semesters. Additionally, because clinical placement isn’t determined until each semester begins, it is not possible for faculty or staff to inform students of their clinical schedule in advance. Clinical and classroom experiences may be scheduled during the daytime, evening, overnights or on weekends seven days a week, and maybe for as long as 12-hour time periods. Due to the high demand for and limited supply of clinical practice experiences, I understand that flexibility in scheduling these learning experiences is expected and that the college cannot accommodate scheduling requests.

A confirmation email will be sent after submitting this Clinical Nursing Advancement Application. Check your spam/junk folder if you do not receive the confirmation email. Please email [email protected] if you would like to ensure that your application was received if no confirmation was sent. Please do not submit an additional application. It’s the applicant’s responsibility to ensure proper submission.
