La Salle’s Nursing Programs provide students with a strong foundation that allows them to build a career in the wide range of professions available to nurses today. Graduates become culturally and clinically competent members of their profession via state-of-the-art simulation labs, experienced and dedicated faculty, and clinical experiences at the largest teaching hospital facilities in the Philadelphia area.
La Salle University’s School of Nursing and Health Sciences has an innovative, evidence-based, experiential, and interprofessional nursing program. Students in our Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program boast NCLEX pass rates that exceed the state and national averages, and 100% of our graduates land placements in the field after completing the program.

We focus on the care of vulnerable populations and respect the humanity of the people that we serve.
