Bachelor of Science in Nursing
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing is designed to prepare a competent, self-directed, general practitioner of nursing who can assume increasing responsibility and leadership in the delivery of nursing care. For individuals seeking to become a registered nurse, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing prelicensure program provides the broad educational preparation necessary to make an efficient transition into the complex world of health care. In consideration of the preparation of a general practitioner, all individuals who apply for admission and are enrolled in the undergraduate program must be able to perform the essential functions required of a registered nurse.
To become a RN, students must
- graduate from an accredited nursing program and
- pass the National Council of Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).
- Acceptance to the upper division nursing program is highly competitive.
Patient care
- Learning experiences are provided at a variety of institutions and agencies: Acute care hospitals as well as community agencies including public schools, home health agencies, nursing homes and day care centers provide a broad variety of clinical nursing practice experiences.
- The Smart Hospital™, a virtual hospital in which computerized simulators serve as patients, is a learning laboratory for students to gain confidence and competence in giving safe patient care.
