What will I learn?

The RN to BSN option is designed to articulate with community college programs and provide a baccalaureate completion program for licensed RNs with an associate degree in nursing or its equivalent.

The B.S.N. framework emphasizes the practice of professional nursing, including the design of nursing systems to provide assistance to individuals, families, groups, communities and populations that are unable to meet either self-care or dependent-care needs without nursing intervention. Students are individuals already licensed by the state to practice as R.N.s who are seeking to advance their nursing knowledge and education. Baccalaureate education in Nursing prepares for the practice of professional nursing in multiple sites and with a variety of clientele. The curriculum provides students an opportunity to broaden their base of liberal education through upper division General Education and elective courses. In addition, nursing courses will enhance knowledge of human development, assessment skills, theories of nursing, ethics and current issues in the practice of professional nursing, community health, leadership and research. Students may attend full-time or part-time with nursing courses 1-2 days per week. Several nursing courses combine live and online instruction. Students may take General Education and elective courses as they choose. The program values include integrity, advocacy, excellence, lifelong learning, respect for others and competence.

Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the B.S.N., graduates will use critical thinking, therapeutic interventions and communication across a wide variety of settings in order to:

  • Use nursing systems to promote health and prevent disease and injury among diverse communities, families and individuals across the life span.
  • Translate current, best evidence into practice that meets professional standards.
