With structured NCLEX review courses, experienced coaching, and practice assessments built into the curriculum, Brookline’s BSN program is designed for success. Our mission is to prepare every graduate to pass the NCLEX-RN and step confidently into the nursing profession.
You’ll complete supervised clinical rotations in hospitals, community clinics, and other healthcare settings across Arizona and New Mexico. These experiences help you translate classroom knowledge into compassionate, professional practice.
Learn and practice in modern simulation centers that mirror real healthcare environments. Using advanced manikins and equipment, you’ll strengthen critical thinking, teamwork, and patient communication skills.
Our Financial Aid team is committed to helping you find ways to fund your BSN education. From federal aid to scholarships and flexible payment plans, we’ll guide you through every step of the process.
Tuition for the BSN program at Brookline College varies by campus location and program track. Because total costs may differ based on start date, enrollment status, and any transfer credits, your Admissions Advisor will provide a detailed cost breakdown outlining tuition, fees, books, supplies, and other program-related expenses. During this conversation, you will also review financial aid options available to those who qualify, so you have a clear understanding of your estimated out-of-pocket investment before making your enrollment decision.
Brookline College offers several financial aid options for those who qualify, including federal grants, federal student loans, and institutional scholarship opportunities. The process begins with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which determines eligibility for federal aid programs. The Brookline College Financial Aid team will guide you through each step of the process, explain your award package in detail, and help you understand your financial responsibilities so you can make informed decisions about funding your education.
Yes. In addition to federal financial aid options for those who qualify, Brookline College offers flexible payment arrangements to help make your nursing education more manageable. Depending on your individual financial situation, you may be able to establish a structured payment plan to distribute remaining tuition balances over time. A Financial Aid representative will work with you one-on-one to review your funding sources, calculate any remaining balance, and help you select a payment option that aligns with your financial goals.
We recommend completing your FAFSA as early as possible, ideally well before your program start date, to maximize access to available funding. Early submission allows time for processing, verification if required, and a thorough review of your eligibility for federal grants, student loans, and other aid programs. Applying early also helps prevent delays in financial aid packaging and provides sufficient time to meet with a Financial Aid representative to review your award and plan confidently for your education at Brookline College.
Yes. Brookline College evaluates official transcripts from accredited institutions to determine which previously completed courses may satisfy BSN program requirements. Transfer credit eligibility depends on factors such as course content, credit hours, and the grade earned. Each transcript is reviewed individually to ensure alignment with Brookline College academic standards and applicable state regulatory requirements.
To determine transfer eligibility, submit your official transcripts for a complimentary evaluation. Once received, the Brookline College Admissions team will coordinate a detailed review and provide a clear summary outlining which credits may transfer and how they apply to your personalized degree plan. This evaluation helps you better understand your projected timeline to graduation before enrolling.
Yes. Credits earned at Eagle Gate College or Provo College may be eligible for transfer within the Unitek Learning network, provided the coursework meets equivalency and program requirements. The Brookline College team will review your academic history to determine how previously completed courses may apply toward your BSN degree.
If you have earned an associate degree in vocational or practical nursing and hold active licensure, you may qualify for an advanced placement pathway. This option recognizes your prior academic preparation and clinical experience, allowing eligible coursework to be applied toward your Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Brookline College. Building on your existing foundation may reduce overall time to completion and support your transition from Licensed Practical Nurse to Registered Nurse more efficiently.
Applicants must provide proof of high school graduation or equivalent, meet minimum qualifying scores on the required entrance assessment, and complete an admissions interview. Prior to beginning clinical training, students must also pass a background check and drug screening in accordance with healthcare facility requirements. Additional documentation, including immunization records and health clearances, may be required before clinical placement.
No prior healthcare experience is required. The Brookline College BSN program is designed for individuals entering the nursing profession for the first time and provides comprehensive instruction in nursing theory, patient care, and clinical skills. The curriculum is structured to build progressively, beginning with foundational nursing concepts and advancing into complex clinical practice.
Application fees may vary by campus location. Your Admissions Advisor will review any applicable fees at the beginning of the enrollment process and clearly explain what is included so you understand all associated costs before submitting your application.
The BSN program at Brookline College is delivered in a hybrid format. Certain general education and nursing theory courses may be offered online to provide flexibility. However, students are required to complete in-person skills labs, simulation training, and supervised clinical rotations at approved healthcare facilities. Because nursing is a hands-on profession, on-campus and clinical training remain essential components of the program.
Students can earn their Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Brookline College in as few as three years, depending on enrollment status, transfer credits, and pathway eligibility. This accelerated timeline allows students to enter the workforce sooner while still completing the comprehensive academic and clinical preparation required for RN licensure.
Brookline College provides structured academic support throughout the nursing curriculum. Students have access to faculty coaching, tutoring services, and review sessions across subject areas, including Fundamentals, Adult Medical-Surgical Nursing, Pharmacology, Maternal Child Nursing, Pediatrics, Mental Health, Community Health, Nutrition, Leadership, and Medication Math.

In addition to academic instruction and clinical training, Brookline College offers comprehensive student support services from enrollment through graduation and beyond. Students have access to financial counseling, academic tutoring, and learning resources to promote classroom success. The Brookline College Career Services team provides resume development, interview preparation, employer networking opportunities, and job placement assistance to help connect students and graduates with meaningful healthcare employment. Alumni are welcome to return at any time for continued career guidance and advancement support.
A Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at Brookline College is a comprehensive, hybrid nursing degree program that can be completed in as few as three years. It combines online coursework, on-campus skills labs, simulation-based training, and supervised clinical rotations to prepare graduates for Registered Nurse licensure. Beyond preparing students for the NCLEX-RN exam, the Brookline College BSN curriculum emphasizes leadership development, clinical judgment, and evidence-based practice.
Although there are multiple pathways to becoming a Registered Nurse, a BSN provides expanded preparation in leadership, research, public health, and critical thinking. Many healthcare employers increasingly prefer or require BSN-prepared nurses, particularly in hospital systems and specialty settings. Earning a BSN at Brookline College can increase eligibility for advancement opportunities, supervisory roles, specialty certifications, and graduate nursing programs.
Students at Brookline College complete supervised clinical rotations in hospitals, outpatient clinics, long-term care facilities, and community health environments. These experiences expose students to diverse patient populations across the lifespan and build competency in medical-surgical nursing, maternal-child health, pediatrics, mental health, and community-based care. Simulation-based learning further strengthens hands-on skills before students enter real-world clinical settings.
NCLEX preparation is integrated throughout the Brookline College BSN curriculum. Students have access to ATI testing resources, practice assessments, remediation tools, and faculty-led review sessions that reinforce clinical reasoning and test-taking strategies. Ongoing mentorship and performance tracking help ensure graduates are prepared academically and professionally to sit for the NCLEX-RN examination.
Registered Nurse employment is projected to grow 5 percent between 2024 and 2034, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Yes. BSN-trained nurses generally earn higher salaries than those with an associate degree. According to NursingProcess.org, the average salary of an RN with an associate degree is $80,660, while the average salary for a BSN holder is $92,560 per year. Salaries can vary depending on healthcare setting, geographic location, level of experience, and certifications.
Students participate in structured, scaffolded learning that progresses in complexity throughout the program. Lectures are designed to build knowledge step by step, reinforcing core concepts before advancing to more complex clinical content. Coursework begins with nursing fundamentals and continues through:
These environments are designed to mirror real healthcare settings and support hands-on learning in a controlled, supportive environment. All ground campuses are equipped with:
Students primarily train using Laerdal mannequins, available in low-, mid-, and high-fidelity models. These tools allow students to safely practice and refine specific clinical skills before working with live patients.
Fidelity level refers to the sophistication of the mannequin’s electronic components and its ability to simulate realistic human responses such as breathing, heart sounds, and physiological changes. In addition to full-body mannequins, students practice with specialized task trainers, including:
BSN skills labs replicate hospital environments and support hands-on learning in a realistic clinical setting. Students have access to medical headwalls with simulated oxygen and suction, electronic vital signs monitors, EKG machines, defibrillators, hospital beds, medication carts, IV poles with IV fluids and Foley kits, chest tubes, splints and slings, sterile gloves and wound care supplies, as well as wheelchairs and crutches.
Virtual reality is used as a supplemental simulation tool to enhance clinical education. Through VR, students can:
VR allows students to experience clinical situations that may not arise during scheduled clinical rotations. It provides a safe environment to develop both technical and interpersonal skills before caring for live patients. Students receive audio, visual, and tactile feedback throughout the experience, helping reinforce learning and build confidence.
Several features distinguish this program. These elements are designed to support diverse student backgrounds while maintaining strong clinical preparation and workforce readiness.
