With uncommon compassion and expert knowledge across the health spectrum, nurses make up the backbone of health care. Earn your Associate of Science in Nursing from AdventHealth University and become an essential member of the health care system.
As the health sciences continue to innovate technological solutions and advance patient care, it’s important for students in the ASN program to gain competence in the latest equipment and tools used in patient care. When you join the ASN degree program, world-class hospital labs across Orlando and Tampa, Florida, will become your classrooms.
We keep our ASN classes small so you can enjoy meaningful face-to-face time with our esteemed nursing program faculty. You’ll work in our state-of-the-art simulation labs under the guidance of our faculty experts to build the confidence and practical skills to excel as a nursing professional on day one of your career.
AHU’s ASN degree program stands apart, thanks to our mission-focused foundation. By combining nursing and nutrition sciences with a faith-based educational environment, we help students focus on whole-person learning and care, which looks at each patient as an individual physically, psychologically, and spiritually.
Rigorous experiential learning makes up the core of our Associate of Science Nursing program. Every class will offer you chances to study cases, participate in virtual and in-person simulations and group discussions, and use interactive technology that enhances the learning experience.
We’ve designed unique Dedicated Education Units (DEU) in AdventHealth hospitals to provide a safe, efficient, and seamless transition from nursing student to practicing nurse. In the DEU program, you’ll work intensively with nurse leaders known as preceptors, treating patients and gaining hands-on experience in a dynamic hospital environment.
AHU also offers an impactful Clinical Scholars program in which a practicing nurse in the AdventHealth system devotes one shift each week to serving as a clinical instructor for nursing program students. Clinical Scholars work closely with seven to eight students in a simulation lab, skills lab, and a hospital unit.
The Associate degree program in Nursing at AdventHealth University is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing.

Across the United States, we are experiencing a severe shortage of nursing professionals to address health issues related to an aging population and heightened public health awareness. AdventHealth University aims to address this shortage by preparing nursing students to enter the workforce with the confidence and competence to deliver the highest quality care to every patient.
Currently, more than 80% of graduates from our nursing program go on to work in the world-class AdventHealth care system. By the time you earn your Associate of Science in Nursing degree, you’ll be prepared to take your National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX) for Registered Nurses and start your career helping others.
Many Registered Nurses from the ASN degree program continue on to earn their Bachelor of Science in Nursing. In our RN-BSN program, you will gain an even more comprehensive understanding of nursing practice, applying your critical thinking skills to challenging care situations.

At AHU, we make it easy for you to earn your ASN and then seamlessly continue to work toward your BSN degree in as little as 12 to 18 months.
