About Nursing Programs in Utah

Utah is among the fastest-growing states in the country, and its nursing market has expanded rapidly along the Wasatch Front, anchored by University of Utah Health and Intermountain Health — one of the most respected integrated systems in the nation and headquartered in Salt Lake City. A young, growing population keeps demand for nurses strong.

Students can pursue affordable technical and community college ADN programs, BSN degrees at the University of Utah, Utah Valley University, and other institutions, accelerated second-degree options, and RN-to-BSN bridges plus MSN tracks for advanced practice and leadership.

Licensure is handled by the Utah State Board of Nursing. Utah holds a notable place in compact history — it was one of the four original Nurse Licensure Compact states in 2000 — so an RN or LPN license issued to a Utah resident is a multistate license, and Utah also issues multistate APRN Compact licenses for qualifying advanced-practice nurses.

Licensing authority: Utah State Board of Nursing.
