The Graduate Nursing Student Experience

The Department of Nursing partners with numerous healthcare facilities and community health organizations in the greater Baltimore area and through out the state of Maryland to provide students with robust, high quality clinical experiences.

Graduate nursing students will complete at least six different clinical rotations and a 6-credit clinical practicum. Students will supplement their clinical and classroom learning through the department’s state-of-the-art simulation lab.

Graduate students completing the ELMS program will be eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN®). NCLEX-RN® First-time pass rate information for Towson University is reported by the Maryland Board of Nursing (MBON).
