Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Capital nursing students graduate ready to practice because they've already been doing it. With more than 800 hours of hands-on clinical, lab, and simulation experiences woven throughout the program, our holistic approach to nursing allows students to develop clinical judgment and competency in real healthcare environments.

Our clinical partnerships place students at premier Central Ohio institutions including OhioHealth, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and The Ohio State University. Specialty experiences including OhioHealth immersion program opportunities and dedicated psychiatric and mental health rotations broaden exposure across care settings and patient populations. Every clinical nursing course includes simulations, providing students a safe, supported environment to develop their knowledge and skills.

Capital's School of Nursing prepares you to care for the whole person, combining a focused nursing curriculum with a liberal arts foundation that builds critical thinking, cultural competence, and clinical judgment. You'll graduate ready to serve diverse patients and communities across a healthcare landscape that demands skilled, adaptable nurses. Our program develops nurse leaders who deliver high-quality care while respecting the dignity of every person they treat.

Capital's nursing simulation labs give you the chance to practice real clinical skills before you ever step into a hospital. Our state-of-the-art labs feature high-fidelity human patient simulators spanning the full lifespan, from infant and pediatric to adult, so you can build confidence across the populations you'll actually care for. With a 4:1 student-to-simulator ratio, you get significantly more hands-on time and direct faculty attention than you'd find at larger programs. Every scenario mirrors real-world healthcare settings, so when you walk into your first clinical, you're ready.

Officially recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a national accreditation agency, the CCNE is an autonomous accrediting agency, contributing to the improvement of the public's health.
