The School places emphasis on the student's development as a person and a professional by offering a program of liberal arts and sciences, nursing theory, and closely supervised clinical experiences to prepare the student for nursing practice and State Board licensing examination.

The academic year extends from mid-August to late June (two 16-week semesters and one six-week Spring semester), allowing eight to nine weeks off during the summer. Both college and nursing courses are taught at Holy Name Medical Center School of Nursing, with some clinical affiliations at other health care facilities.

The HNMC School of Nursing, through its collaborative agreement with St. Peter's College, offers students the option of taking an additional three college credits over the basic curriculum to earn an Associate of Applied Science (AAS degree) in the Health Sciences from St. Peter's College. The AAS is in addition to the diploma in Nursing from the Holy Name Medical Center School of Nursing, and is awarded to the graduate who has passed all the prescribed courses and presents verification of NCLEX success to Saint Peter's College.

The School of Nursing is accredited by the New Jersey Board of Nursing and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission. The School is also a member of the Association of Diploma Schools of Professional Nursing in New Jersey, the National Coalition of Medical Center Associated Schools and Colleges of Nursing, and the National League for Nursing.
