Nurses are the
front line of healthcare.

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing reports that nurses are the largest single occupation in healthcare. Every day, nurses make a difference for patients, supporting them during illness, injury, and major life events such as childbirth.

If you want to prepare to make a difference every day, Salem University can help. Our Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) degree program offers the evidence-based knowledge and skills you need in a flexible hybrid format.
