2nd Degree ADN/BSN Nursing Program
The 2nd Degree ADN/BSN Nursing Program* is designed for individuals with a previous college degree. The 15-month hybrid program allows students to complete their Associates of Applied Science in Nursing (AASN) Degree and sit for the NCLEX-RN examination. Students then matriculate into the RN-BSN completely online program.
The associate degree nursing curriculum is designed to prepare a graduate with a liberal and technical education which facilitates provision and coordination of nursing care through the correlation of theoretical knowledge and application of clinical knowledge. Application of knowledge takes place in various health care settings and through the utilization of the nursing process. The associate degree nurse is prepared to provide and coordinate evidenced-based care for a limited number of clients across the life span who may have predictable or unpredictable health care needs and to be a member of a profession.
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program is designed for registered nurses who have earned either an associate degree in nursing or a diploma from a hospital school of nursing.
Baccalaureate education builds and enhances clinical scholarship and prepares graduates to advance to an area of specialized nursing practice.
All of our BSN level nursing course instruction is provided via the Internet for the adult learner with course materials, syllabi, assignments, discussion groups, e-mail and exams online. Online class participation is asynchronous for the students' convenience. Faculty work with students to identify preceptors and clinical agencies within the students' home communities, eliminating a lot of travel.
To be successful, it is strongly suggested that students not hold full-time employment while completing this program.
