Career Launch Program- University of Akron Associate Degree in Nursing

Akron Children's Hospital

Career Launch – Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN)

Graduate debt-free. Build a future in nursing at Akron Children's.

What is Career Launch?

Career Launch is Akron Children's premier workforce development program, designed to help you complete your degree at no cost so you can focus on your future—not the price of tuition.

We are thrilled to announce the continuation of our exclusive partnership with the University of Akron's two-year associate degree in nursing program, offering full tuition support for thirty students.

Program Overview & Benefits

  • Start: Fall 2026 (pre-requisites); nursing coursework begins Spring 2027

  • Schedule: Full-time, in person daytime classes, 3-5 days per week

  • Location: University of Akron Wayne Campus (Orrville, OH)

  • Class Times: Vary by semester (refer to the University of Akron's ADN program for details)

Career Launch Support Includes:

  • 100% prepaid tuition

  • Uniforms, books, and required supplies covered

  • Transportation and childcare reimbursement available, as needed

  • Opportunities for mentorship and professional development

  • Job placement upon graduation – a direct pathway into a nursing career at Akron Children's

Why the University of Akron Wayne Campus?

The University of Akron Wayne Campus offers a smaller, community-focused learning environment with personalized academic support, well suited for students pursuing nursing education. You'll find small class sizes with faculty who are invested in your success.

Students progress through the program as part of a dedicated cohort, fostering connection, accountability, and peer support. The Wayne Campus provides a consistent, focused academic setting designed to support student success, with a dedicated nursing program and new lab space.

How the Program Works

Participants will be hired into Career Launch Student (PRN) positions and must meet all Akron Children's requirements for hire.

After submitting your Career Launch application, candidates must also complete an application to the University of Akron.

How Do I Qualify?

We seek candidates who align with Akron Children's core promises:

  • To treat every child as we would our own

  • To treat others as they would like to be treated

  • To turn no child away

Candidates should demonstrate motivation, professionalism, strong communication skills, and teamwork. All candidates must apply to the college to be considered.

Important: Final selection is contingent upon full acceptance to the University of Akron and the Associates Degree of Nursing Program. Admission requirements and curriculum details for the ADN program are available on the university's website.
