The School of Nursing offers the RN-to-BSN completion program. Recognizing the complex difficulties that adult nurses face in returning to school to obtain a BSN the School of Nursing has streamlined the curriculum. Nursing courses will be coordinated with the times that general education courses are taught.
RN-BSN students who have completed one year of clinical practice may develop an Individualized Plan of Study (IPOS) for the senior nursing courses. This plan developed during NUB 421 IPOS Seminar in the fall semester, will recognize professional experience of the RN and enable the student and course faculty to design specific goals and activities for completion of clinical objectives for NUB 401: Leadership and/or NUB 450: Community Health. This approach avoids duplication of experiences, allows flexibility in completing clinical hours, and enables the RN to design individualized activities that foster professional growth in relation to course objectives.
