Overview
The AUM School of Nursing was established as part of Auburn University at Montgomery's mission to serve the capital region's healthcare needs, offering pre-licensure and post-licensure nursing education since the university's founding decades ago. It is known primarily for its BSN and RN-to-BSN programs, which emphasize clinical competency, community health engagement, and strong pass rates on the NCLEX-RN licensure exam. The school has built partnerships with area hospitals and healthcare systems, including Baptist Health and other Montgomery-area facilities, to provide robust clinical training opportunities.
