The RN to BSN program is a baccalaureate program for registered nurses who hold an active, unencumbered license as a registered nurse (RN) from any state in the United States. The purpose of the program is to educate students from diverse backgrounds in the theory and application of nursing concepts beyond those learned in their previous coursework and current work experiences. Students will develop the knowledge and skills to deliver safe, quality nursing care, consistent with nursing and healthcare standards and regulatory requirements. The program prepares students as baccalaureate generalists, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration, safety, quality, informatics, evidence-based practice, professionalism, ethics, leadership and management, pathophysiology, advanced health assessment and population/community health.
