The UVU ASN program prepares students to become registered nurses and assist clients in a variety of health care settings within an interdisciplinary team.
A BSN degree allows ASN-prepared nurses to learn and apply leadership skills, genomics, global health perspectives, and research for practice. A BSN degree provides the greatest opportunities for advancement in the nursing profession.
UVU Department of Nursing and MTECH have created a pathway for MTECH-LPN graduates to apply to the UVU ASN Program. Take your LPN degree to the next level of nursing by earning an ASN degree, and continue on to a BSN degree.
The Associate in Science in Nursing w/BSN Completion (ASN) program prepares the graduate to function individually as a member of the healthcare team in structured healthcare settings in which clients have common health problems.

UVU Nursing is serious about high academic standards balanced with a compassionate and team-oriented emphasis on preparing professional, skilled, and caring nurses.
UVU creates nurses who succeed. Nursing students NCLEX-RN pass rate was 12 percentage points higher than the national average in 2018. For the SPRING 2023 NCLEX-RN testing group, 100% of students taking the test for the first time passed.
We welcome the diverse experiences and perspectives of our students and faculty and denounce discrimination in any form. We strive to view each person as a unique individual who can succeed in a rigorous yet supportive learning environment. We value collegial collaboration as well as academic freedom and encourage the respectful exchange of ideas as a foundational element of the academic setting.
We promote professional and ethical standards of practice and behavior as we encourage both students and faculty to exhibit integrity in all aspects of the educational process. We view learning as a teacher-student-community partnership that highlights the roles of the student, instructor, and nurse as accountable agents to themselves, the University, and the communities we serve.
We employ evidence-based teaching and learning strategies to foster the development of caring nurses who promote the health of body, mind, and spirit in individuals, families, communities, and populations. Equipped with the ability to use effective clinical judgment, evidence-based nursing, and ongoing learning our graduates will be prepared to provide effective and compassionate service to members of both local and global communities.
I’ve been guided by professors and mentors while I conducted research, analyzed data, and presented my findings at my first research conference! How amazing to feel like my work is making a real difference in our community.

This college and the Nursing program have instilled in me the confidence to engage in more community projects and positively impact communities. I feel empowered to address community needs and make a tangible impact on the lives of refugees facing language and transportation barriers.

My favorite part of the ASN Nursing program was the SIM lab because it made nursing come alive. My favorite SIM lab was a mock code because it really felt like we were really becoming nurses and things started to click. 4th semester of the program really validated me that we had come so far and were really preparing to become nurses!
Nursing BSN Student
The thing I love most about being an educator is taking those brand-new nurses and getting them prepared to go into practice. It is because of these new nurses that I know my family and I will be in good hands in the future.
