RN-BSN
The RN to BSN Program is designed for registered nurses seeking to complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree in a flexible online and asynchronous instructional format. The program builds on prior nursing education and professional experience, providing students with advanced knowledge in evidence-based practice, leadership, population health, health promotion, and emerging healthcare technologies. The curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and leadership skills necessary for practice in diverse healthcare environments. The program culminates with a capstone project and professional portfolio, allowing students to integrate learning, demonstrate competency in quality improvement, and reflect on career development.
As part of the program, students will engage in direct and indirect practice experiences that support the integration of course concepts into real would nursing practice. Students will develop an educational project to be delivered onsite at an appropriate, approved location of their choosing.
Note: All 30 credit hours of program requirements must be completed with Barnes-Jewish College Goldfarb School of Nursing.
