RN to BSN

The objective of the RN to BSN program is to teach students to practice professional nursing competently in diverse healthcare settings by applying caring, critical thinking, and therapeutic nursing interventions. The program focuses on serving individuals, families, aggregates, and communities across all developmental stages and varied health experiences.

The curriculum prepares graduates to function as practitioners in acute and long-term care, community settings, home care and other non-traditional settings, and other nontraditional settings, and also provides a foundation for leadership positions and graduate study. The graduate will be able to apply well-developed problem-solving skills in caring for individuals, families, communities and populations.
