Start Your Career with a Degree from a Respected Nursing School in Minnesota or Florida
The Rasmussen College School of Nursing offers two nursing programs that will prepare you to become a nurse and change your life and the lives of others forever. By choosing to earn a degree from one of our nursing schools in Minnesota or Florida, you will be on your way toward a career in nursing.
The Practical Nursing program is offered in Minnesota at multiple locations and at the Pasco County campus in Florida. As a practical nurse, you will help patients with their everyday needs, as well as help them remain comfortable and maintain a sense of stability throughout the healing process. Practical nurses are integral to a patient’s well-being and quality of life, and your nursing school curriculum and lab experience will help prepare you for a successful career as a practical nurse.
The Professional Nursing program is offered in Florida at the Fort Myers, Pasco County, and Ocala campuses, and in Minnesota at the Mankato campus. Professional nurses not only educate and advise patients and their families about the patient’s illness, they also provide crucial emotional and practical support for patients with complex or unstable conditions. Your nursing school coursework will allow you to help doctors provide care to those who need it most—earn your degree from a nursing school focused on your success.
