Choose a career that’s in high demand. Become a registered nurse with an Associate in Applied Science Degree in Nursing from Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology.
State-of-the-art labs and classrooms provide the perfect setting for studies in anatomy, physiology and microbiology in addition to a variety of nursing care courses.
Our labs feature advanced simulation mannequins that are anatomically realistic - enabling practice for a wide range of nursing procedures. Students also may apply for nurse externships while in the program, often taking shifts at a local clinic or hospital. Frequently, the externship position becomes a full-time job upon graduation.
Upon successful completion of your Associate of Applied Science Degree and NCLEX you will be helping people in a lifelong career that provides both personal satisfaction and a great income! Sign-on bonuses may start in the thousands, and median annual incomes are over $45,000 for experienced RNs. Over half of all nurses are employed in hospital inpatient and outpatient settings. One-third work in medical offices and clinics, home healthcare agencies, nursing homes, temporary help agencies, education, and government agencies.
Nurses are the front line of health care. They are the ones who are providing patients with the most care, and they’re going to be the most significant individuals within the treatment of chronic disease, terminal illness or day-to-day care. Nurses influence legislation, affect change for health care delivery systems, write, publish, and educate about prevention and promotion of healthy living.
According to Jane Nelson, executive director of the Oklahoma Nursing Association, Oklahoma has a shortage of nurses. “By 2010, there are expected to be nearly 3,000 openings for nurses in Oklahoma hospitals. Graduates have multiple career options with 100 percent placement.”
