Nursing at OSUIT

What is nursing?

OSUIT’s ACEN-accredited and OBN-approved Nursing program equips you with the knowledge and clinical experience needed to become a registered nurse. Choose from two tracks—Traditional or LPN to RN Transition—both designed to prepare you for the NCLEX and licensure in Oklahoma and other NLC states.

Why nursing?

Train in modern clinical settings under the guidance of experienced nursing faculty. Whether you're starting fresh or advancing from LPN, OSUIT offers a clear, career-ready pathway to RN status—delivering the hands-on skills, mentorship, and state credentials employers expect.

  • Professional Licensure Disclosure

    The OSUIT Nursing Program is approved by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing (OBN). Graduates are eligible to apply for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Licensure in Oklahoma is subject to all state and federal requirements. For details, visit oklahoma.gov/nursing.

     

    Oklahoma is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), allowing OSUIT graduates to seek a multistate license valid in all NLC states. Learn more and view participating states at ncsbn.org/nurse-licensure-compact.

     

    If you reside in a non-NLC state, you are responsible for reviewing licensure and education requirements for that state. Additional licensure information is available at ncsbn.org/14730.htm.
