In Northwest Technical College’s Hybrid Nursing programs, you’ll gain knowledge and experience in state-of-the-art simulated clinical settings, as well as in direct, supervised clinical environments.
Our programs offer multiple entry and exit points with options to stack your credentials as you work toward an Associate of Science (AS) degree.
If you’re looking to continue your education, we’ll help you transfer your AS to Bemidji State University, which allows you to complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BS) degree.
Our experienced faculty will help you choose the best path to meet your goals. The nursing programs are delivered via a hybrid model. Nursing lecture courses are online. Onsite labs and clinicals utilize blocked scheduling to minimize travel requirements for students.
