Bachelor of Science in Nursing: R.N. to B.S.N.

The R.N. to B.S.N. Program is a transition program for the registered nurse (R.N.) to achieve the Bachelor of Science in Nursing.  The RN to BSN curriculum prepares an RN to function as generalist in professional nursing and serves as a basis for graduate study, building on the RN's education and experience at the associate degree or diploma level.  The program is offered in two formats:

       1.  Face to Face

The face to face (classroom setting) R.N. to B.S.N. format is a transition program for the registered nurse (R.N.) to achieve the Bachelor of Science in Nursing.  Based on the needs of working   professionals, the degree is offered in a convenient format (referred to as the "Pods") that builds on the experience and education of the R.N. Courses and assignments are designed for both convenience and maximum applicability to the student's work setting.
