Introducing the Sentara School of Health Professions
RN Program via Distance Learning
Now you can study to be an RN close to home through Sentara’s new Distance Learning Program. The Distance Learning Program is offered as an alternative to the traditional Program and is a "real-time" broadcast of the Main Campus channeled in to the ODU Higher Learning Center in Hampton. The learning experience is the same quality you will find in the Chesapeake Campus and is not internet-based learning.
