Students are individuals already licensed by the state to practice as Registered Nurses who are seeking to advance their nursing knowledge and education. The curriculum provides students an opportunity to broaden their base of liberal education and to 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 with an Associate’s Degree and a Registered Nurse license are admitted to the Nursing Department and have their previous nursing courses transferred in as a block of hours, not individual course substitutions in the BSN degree. Advanced placement BSN credit up to 39 SCH will be granted after completion of all other nursing program requirements.
