The Associate Degree in Nursing and Bachelor of Science in Nursing, ADN-BSN (4-5 year) track, allow graduating high school students, who have earned the required college credit hours, to begin as first-year students. These entering students complete the ADN degree requirements, take the National Council Licensure Exam for RN licensure (NCLEX-RN), and continue with BSN course work. Successful completion of the RN licensure examination provides students with the potential to be employed as RN’s while completing the BSN degree.
The Associate Degree in Nursing and the Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing combines general education courses with professional nursing theory and more complex clinical practice. Consistent with the mission and goals of the college, the BSN program draws from the scientific and humanistic disciplines to prepare individuals as professionals in nursing who can provide health care and leadership to individuals and to families or groups of diverse cultures in a variety of settings.
Students must earn a minimum grade of “C” in all required courses. Students in Track II must maintain a 2.0 GPA for progression in the track.
