OU & Sharp: Wired For Success

The OU College of Nursing and Sharp HealthCare bring the “best of” two worlds together: theoretical knowledge in nursing and exceptional real-world clinical experience. The online nursing programs are designed to provide a comprehensive and efficient education.

Sharp HealthCare is renowned for delivering superior healthcare and innovations, making the organization the ideal choice for hands-on learning. The facilities are technologically advanced environments, which further enhances the blended online/on-site experience. The two draw on each other’s strengths and expertise, to create one of the most dynamic nursing educational opportunities in San Diego.

The program benefits the San Diego community — and healthcare as a whole. More highly skilled nurses will ease the shortage and improve patient care. Job vacancies will be filled and more options will become available.

Locations For Clinical Experience

The program's clinical work takes place in different Sharp facilities and community sites throughout the county. Days, locations and times will vary according to the curriculum. Sharp HealthCare’s network includes:

Four acute-care hospitals Three specialty hospitals (behavioral health, women’s health and substance abuse) Three affiliated medical groups Six urgent-care centers Four skilled-nursing facilities Home-health and hospice care facilities Two comprehensive rehabilitation centers
