One hallmark of the BSN program is that there is no testing of prior nursing
knowledge if the RN is in good standing within the state of practice. The BSN
program is designed to develop the professional knowledge and skills of working
registered nurses.
The curriculum incorporated in our online nursing degrees is
built on a foundation of the biological, physical, and social sciences that
contribute to the science of nursing. The liberal arts components enhance the
development of the intellectual, social, and cultural aspects of the
professional nurse.
The program enhances the foundation in the biological, physical, and social
sciences through an instructional program with behavioral objectives that
concentrate on the development of the nurse's role as caregiver, teacher,
and manager of care. Utilizing a self-care framework, working registered
nurses are prepared as generalists who are able to apply professional skills
and knowledge to nursing, clients, and health care systems.
The MSN program, one of the premier nursing master degree programs online, is designed to develop and enhance the knowledge and skills of registered nurses.
