AIAM's Registered Nursing program:
At AIAM, we understand that a person’s wellbeing is about much more than just their physical health. That’s why our holistic Registered Nursing (RN) Program teaches students to nurture patients’ mental and spiritual health with just as much clinical attention as they do their physical health.

Our curriculum’s focus on the mind-body connection sets the AIAM Registered Nursing program apart from others. In addition, students who have successfully completed a practical nursing program can apply to our RN program — a bridge program from practical nursing to registered nursing. Which allows them to earn their Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in only 15 months, setting them on course for a long lasting and rewarding healthcare career.

Holistic Practical Nursing at AIAM-

AIAM takes a holistic approach to educating our practical nursing students. As you learn the skills you need to become an LPN, you will also learn basic massage techniques for clinical settings, as well as explore the importance of the mind-body connection in patient health. This unique curriculum helps our nurses better connect and interact with their patients on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.

As one of the shortest programs of its kind in Ohio, our Practical Nursing program provides students with both classroom learning and real-world experience. You’ll work beside medical professionals at clinical sites across central Ohio and be eligible to earn your PN license in just nine short months.

Our PN program offers small class sizes, one-on-one time with professors, a holistic approach to patient care, and an acute focus on patient psychomotor skills. It’s a program that produces strongly skilled, well-rounded, and compassionate nursing professionals.
