Learn Where You Live for Students

Strengthen care in your community

Learn Where You Live from Arizona State University’s Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation combines the convenience of remote learning with the hands-on experience you need to succeed in the field.

It’s a flexible, high-quality {accelerated bsn} option for students looking for an online or hybrid prelicensure nursing program—without compromising on clinical training.

How it works:

Learn from anywhere, guided by ASU faculty.

You’ll complete your nursing coursework through a mix of live online sessions via ASUSync technology and self-paced modules. All content is delivered by ASU’s experienced nursing faculty, so you get a rigorous education with the flexibility to learn on your time, from wherever you are.

Flexible schedule, real clinical experience.

While this isn’t a fully online nursing program, it’s designed for similar location and scheduling flexibility. You’ll start developing clinical skills at home using a custom kit and step-by-step video instruction. Then, throughout the semester, you’ll participate in in-person, hands-on training sessions that emphasize critical thinking, team-based care, and skill competency.

Train in your community.

Your clinical experience takes place at your local hospitals and health care organizations, giving you the chance to apply what you’ve learned in real-world environments. Simulation labs and case-based learning help prepare you to deliver confident, compassionate care.
