We designed this program with working nurses in mind
The online RN-BS Degree in Nursing Completion program was designed for the motivated RN looking complete their bachelor’s in nursing while continuing to work and balance other life priorities. Students will benefit from faculty who are nursing experts in a variety of specialization areas, in addition to being skilled educators and scholars. Students will watch pre-recorded lectures on Blackboard™ and participate in discussion topics with their peers. In some courses, students will also participate in virtual simulation through vSim™ and Shadow Health designed to simulate real nursing scenarios. Students will interact with patients in a safe, realistic environment, and will receive feedback from their professor on the recorded session.
