 Return to: Programs by Program Type
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN) degree program is designed to prepare the graduate of an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program who holds a Registered Nursing (RN) license with additional skills in management, leadership, theory, research, and evidence-based practice to succeed and be promoted within the nursing profession. The BSN graduate will be qualified for supervisory jobs such as nurse manager and other advanced bedside clinical care jobs. The BSN graduate is also qualified to pursue a master’s degree in nursing. Each student is strongly encouraged to consult an advisor or counselor prior to course registration.
Requirements for Progression
- Grade of C or higher in courses in the curriculum;
- Current CPR certification at the Health Care Provider level (American Heart Association); and,
- Satisfactory level of mental and physical health, including current immunizations, Hepatitis B vaccinations, yearly TB testing, and ability to meet course requirements for practicum experiences.
The student who does not meet progression requirements will be withdrawn from the RN to BSN program and must apply for readmission.
Applicants to the RN to BSN program will be admitted with varying levels of experience and education. Depending upon the number of general education requirements completed at the time of admission, an entering RN to BSN student can complete the nursing core courses in 3, 4, or 5 terms. Therefore, it is important that each student meet with the College personnel to plan an individualized course of study.
