Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN-BSN)
Available Online.
Welcome from the Director
We are very pleased that you are interested in our RN-to- BSN program for working nurses. Our nursing program online is designed for the busy, practicing RN who embraces an online learning environment that allows for networking opportunities with a diverse group of peers in many geographical locations, as well as within many nursing specialties. Your nursing knowledge and work experience are valued, and you will find that the curriculum will serve to refine and enhance your critical-thinking and decision-making skills so as to better prepare you to face current and future health care challenges as a nurse leader.
Because we understand that your schedule as a working professional in nursing is demanding, and that your personal time is just as important, we have designed the Bachelor of Science in Nursing major required courses to be delivered in a 100% online format. Courses are 8 weeks in length and clinical requirements are met through pertinent application-based projects within the coursework and are enhanced in the workplace setting and/or in selected reflective observational experience(s). There will also be opportunities for the RN to collaborate online with other students in order to present case studies on relevant topics in nursing and problem-solve together to improve students’ critical-thinking skills, polish students’ communication techniques, and increase students’ overall confidence in team-building relationships. Students in our online RN-to-BSN program will also acquire a deeper understanding of the value of incorporating evidence-based research into “real world” practice and gain a greater appreciation for the commitment to lifelong learning in this dynamic profession.
