Aloha! I'm really interested in studying nursing in Hawaii. Can anyone recommend the top colleges for nursing there? Would love to hear about any standout programs or schools you think I should consider.
Sure, Hawaii offers several strong nursing programs.
The University of Hawaii at Manoa offers a top nursing program. Its Nancy Atmospera-Walch School of Nursing is highly reputable and offers various programs from a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) to advanced Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs.
Hawaii Pacific University is also an option to consider for nursing. It offers a robust Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program. In this program, you'll have opportunities for firsthand clinical practice in a variety of healthcare settings and specialties.
Chaminade University also has a noteworthy nursing program. They offer a Bachelor's degree in Nursing (BSN) and often highlight small class sizes, which can provide more personalized instruction and support throughout your studies.
Lastly, you might want to look into the Kapiolani Community College which offers an associate degree in nursing (ADN) that prepares students to sit for NCLEX-RN, the national licensure exam for registered nurses.
Each of these schools offers a unique approach to nursing education, so research each one to determine which aligns best with your personal educational goals and career plans. Good luck on your nursing journey!
