There's a constant need for registered nurses in hospitals, clinics, and health care agencies. Highline College's Nursing Program meets this need with a comprehensive curriculum that includes study in nursing theory and practice. You'll gain practical experience through supervised clinical practice in hospitals, long-term care settings, and community health care agencies. This program is approved by the Washington State Nursing Quality Assurance Commission and accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission. After you've earned an Associate of Applied Science Degree, you'll qualify to sit for the Registered Nursing Licensure Examination.

Data is unavailable for one of several reasons: In some cases, the institution has not provided the Workforce Board with data to independently evaluate program performance. We encourage all schools to provide this data on an annual basis. In other cases, the program joined Career Bridge recently and student data has not been reported yet. In other cases, the program is too small or too new to provide reliable results.
