Learn Where You Live

A bold new approach to nursing education

Learn Where You Live will transform nursing education by expanding access for Arizona students in communities beyond ASU campuses, preparing more nurses to meet critical workforce needs in the state's rural and remote areas.

This innovative, accelerated prelicensure nursing program from Arizona State University’s Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation makes it possible for students in Arizona to earn their degrees and become registered nurses (RNs) without moving to an ASU campus.

Instead of relocating, students learn where they live and gain hands-on clinical experience with select partner health care facilities to prepare them for the profession.

Through this program, students are not tied to an ASU campus, ideally, they will work where they learn and deliver care where they are needed most,
