Jumpstart Your Nursing Career with a Nursing Student Apprenticeship
Launched in 2023 to break down barriers to nursing careers and help fill the nationwide nurse shortage, the Nurse Student Apprenticeship program has already placed Bachelor of Science in Nursing students in two-year apprenticeships at Flowers Hospital in Dothan and the Baptist Health system.
As a nursing major, you'll have the opportunity to apply and interview for the apprenticeship program, which replaces some clinical rotations. Through it, you'll learn from experienced nursing professionals and gain experience in clinical practice and real-world scenarios.

If you have been admitted to or will be transferring from another school of nursing, you must submit a letter from the dean/department chair of that school stating your eligibility to continue in the school.

a current BSN Academic Evaluation, (3) unofficial transcript(s), and (4) $20 application
fee on or prior to March 15 for fall admissions or September 15 for spring admissions,
I will not be considered for the next BSN class. Also, BSN Transfer Students must
