Nursing, RN/BSN
The nursing major includes the pre-licensure baccalaureate nursing program which prepares the individual at the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) level, the RN-BSN completion program and a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences degree (BSHS).
Program Details
The nursing curriculum is based on the belief that caring is the essence of nursing. Students are unique individuals with differing backgrounds, needs, and interests, and have the freedom and responsibility to make considered choices. Nursing faculty subscribe to the belief that professional nurses must have a solid foundation in the arts, sciences, and humanities that provides a reservoir of knowledge from which to draw when making critical clinical decisions in the roles of care provider or care coordinator (A.A.C.N., Essentials of Baccalaureate Nursing, 2008).
The Nursing Program provides a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree through three options:
- Pre-licensure (Traditional/eLine/eLine military) nursing education for the individual who wishes to earn the BSN degree while preparing to become a Registered Nurse (RN).
- RN-BSN Completion for the RN who wishes to build upon previous education and earn a baccalaureate degree.
- Accelerated
