Bachelor of Science in Nursing - RN-to-BSN

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing - RN-to-BSN program will consist of a three semester online program for registered nurses who are graduates of an accredited associate degree or diploma program in nursing. The program will have a yearly fall start date and will be full. 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.
