Caring for People Across the Continuum of Life

Colleges of Distinction - NursingEastern Washington University launched a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program in fall 2023. The program, resulting from extensive planning and collaboration with healthcare industry partners, is designed to prepare nurses to meet the diverse healthcare needs region-wide.

The Nursing BSN degree provides transformative educational experiences to create a culture of excellence in the art and science of nursing. The program will prepare students for a rewarding career in nursing at a time when there is a critical shortage of nurses throughout the state and nation. Our graduates will be lifelong learners prepared to practice with integrity and compassion as they care for people across their lifespans in various healthcare settings.

Spring 2024 Application cycle is now closed.

We encourage applicants who are interested in applying for the fall 2024 cohort to attend an upcoming information session. Fall applications will go live January 2024.

What Makes Eastern’s Program Unique?

Personalized Instruction: Professors with extensive nursing expertise will lead small-size classes enhanced by clinical placements and simulation technology to ready students for a wide range of real-world scenarios.

Collaboration: Eastern’s nursing program is housed inside the SIERR Building in the University District, and is part of the growing “Health Peninsula” in Spokane. This unique location creates the optimal hub for research, development and advancement of health sciences — and builds upon partnerships with nearby hospitals, clinics and health education centers to create a comprehensive learning experience.

Holistic Admission: Healthcare providers overwhelmingly expressed a need for more diversity in nursing to better serve patients from a variety of backgrounds. EWU’s Nursing Program looks beyond standardized test scores and GPA to assess applicants based on the whole of their education, community service and personal experience.

Emphasis on Emerging Needs: Eastern’s program emphasizes care across the lifespan and nursing services for residents of rural and underserved urban populations.
