Become a Nurse Online — With Just One Week In Person.
Calby's hybrid nursing program is built for people with jobs, families, and real-life schedules. Complete 23 weeks of full RN or LVN coursework entirely online — at your own pace, on your own schedule — with just one intensive week of in-person clinicals at a partner college near you. Tuition-free. Available nationwide.
Designed for real life.
Traditional nursing school requires you to show up in person multiple days a week for two or more years. Calby's model flips that — everything except the clinical week happens online, on a schedule that works around your existing commitments.
Weeks online
All lectures, readings, assessments, and practice questions are delivered through an online learning platform. Work through modules on your schedule — mornings, evenings, weekends.
Week in person
One focused week of hands-on clinical training at your matched partner college. This is where you apply everything you've learned in a real patient care environment.
Available everywhere
Because the program is online-first, you can apply from anywhere in the US. Our admissions team matches you with a local partner college for your clinical week.
Built for people with full lives.
Working adults
If you're currently employed, the online format lets you train without quitting your job. Study in the evenings or on weekends and complete clinicals during a single scheduled week off.
Parents & caregivers
No fixed class times means you fit coursework around your family's schedule — not the other way around.
Rural residents
No nursing school nearby? No problem. The online format removes geography as a barrier. Your clinical week placement is handled by our admissions team.
Career changers
If you're coming from a completely different industry, you don't need prior healthcare experience or college credits to start. The 24-week program is built for beginners.
