Bronson School of Nursing

About

The Bronson School of Nursing at Western Michigan University offers a comprehensive and holistic nursing education. It provides both a traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing for new students and an RN-to-BSN track for licensed nurses seeking to advance their education.

BSON is recognized for its holistic approach to nursing, endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation, and emphasizes person-centered care, community engagement and service to vulnerable populations.

We are committed to promoting high-quality, safe nursing practice while educating professional nurses who:

Provide competent, holistic relationship-based care.
Assume leadership roles in evolving health care contexts.
Actively participate in the application of research to nursing practice.

We are committed to teaching current and emerging nursing skills. As a student, you will benefit from the diverse clinical and research expertise of our faculty as they help you develop your own skills in management and research. Our high-tech classrooms, labs and low instructor to student ratios foster a learning environment that is both challenging and supportive.
