Since 1996, more than 150 Native American nurses have entered into practice as licensed RNs, serving the healthcare needs of native peoples in reservations and adjacent communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"What-degree\">What degree will I receive?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students in this program complete prerequisite courses through NAU or a local community college, then apply for admission to NAU&#8217;s traditional&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/undergraduate-degrees-programs\/bs-nursing\/\">Bachelor of Science in Nursing<\/a> (BSN) program. In the BSN program, students learn to provide nursing care for individuals, families, and communities in urban and rural settings. Graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Exam for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) and begin a rewarding career in healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-it-works\">How does the AIP program work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are admitted into the AIP each fall semester. We give priority to Native Americans who are members of federally recognized tribes. Students attend classes on the Flagstaff campus, and gain clinical experience in Indian Health Services facilities and at hospital and community locations adjacent to the Navajo Nation. In the final semester of the program, students complete their preceptorship in their community, on the reservation, or anywhere in Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<!-- removed margin utility classes pt-0 mb-0 mb-md-70 mb-lg-100 -->\n<section class=\"nau-block headline-image-wysiwyg  color-scheme-blue \">\n    <header class=\"hiw-head-and-hero-wrapper\">\n\n        <h2 class=\"h2\">Ready to apply?<\/h2>\n        <picture>\n            <source media=\"(min-width: 1100px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2024\/07\/DSC_8078-Edit-1-2000x1125.jpg\">\n            <source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2024\/07\/DSC_8078-Edit-1-1200x900.jpg\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2024\/07\/DSC_8078-Edit-1-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"A Northern Arizona University nursing tudent working in a patient room.\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/header>\n\n    <div class=\"hiw-innerblockwrapper  \">\n        \n        <!--h3>Ready to apply?<\/h3-->\n\n        <div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n            <div class=\"wp-block-column\"><p>Get information on prerequisites, dates and deadlines, and application requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>                    <\/div>\n\n                \n        <div class=\"wp-block-buttons alignright\">\n                                        <div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-primary-blue\"><a\n                                        href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/how-to-apply\/undergraduate-nursing-programs\/\"\n                                        target=\"\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\">\n                                    Undergraduate programs                                <\/a>\n                            <\/div>\n                                                        <div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-ghost-dark\"><a\n                                        href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/how-to-apply\/graduate-nursing-programs\/\"\n                                        target=\"\" class=\"wp-block-button__link\">\n                                    Graduate programs                                <\/a>\n                            <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<div class=\"nau-block nau-block-left-nav-bottom-bound\">\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":645,"featured_media":7338,"parent":70,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","ring_central_script_selection":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-129","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/645"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129"}],"version-history":[{"count":73,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12142,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/129\/revisions\/12142"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/70"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/college-nursing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
