EA’s nursing program prepares students for meaningful careers as registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. Our graduates can be found working almost anywhere, hospitals, community health organizations, schools, and homes, positively impacting the quality of health care delivery. For students seeking to continue their education and pursue a RN-BSN degree, our concurrent enrollment programs with Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, and Grand Canyon University allow EA students to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing while completing an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing. Admission into EA’s nursing program requires a separate, prior admission process and space is limited.
Eastern Arizona College’s Nursing Program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN)*, the leading authority in nursing education accreditation recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.
*Accredited Spring 2016 – Spring 2029
