GW Nursing has a strong veteran community that turns out some of our best and brightest graduates. If you're currently on active duty, a reservist, or a veteran of the armed forces, you can transition to a purposeful new career with a bachelor of science in nursing (B.S.N.) degree from GW Nursing. Through our veterans B.S.N. program, you can receive academic credit for your military training and experience, earn a degree, and study alongside other veterans who are determined to enter a new career full of challenges, meaning, and service.
