RN to BSN

The RN-BSN program will consist of a three or six continuous semester online program for registered nurses who are graduates of an accredited associate degree or diploma program in nursing and it will lead to the Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. The program will have a yearly fall start date and will be full or part time. The curriculum is designed to attract the working professional who has already passed NCLEX and who now plans to obtain a BSN degree. Students will work online, asynchronously to obtain education while accommodating their RN work shifts.

There are three clinical courses with a focus on the following: gerontology, community/public health, and leadership/quality improvement. The clinical hours will consist of a project that may include either virtual or live work. The program focuses on the knowledge, skills, and values deemed essential for professional nursing practice with a specific focus on leadership, care coordination, and communication skills.

Curriculum

Students enrolled in the RN to BSN Nursing degree program must earn 125 semester hours to complete degree requirements. Students may start in Fall semester.
