The Traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program prepares students for entry into professional nursing practice. Grounded in the principles of evidence-based practice, patient-centered care and clinical excellence, the program develops critical thinking, clinical judgment and compassionate care. Students in the program engage in a rigorous curriculum that includes classroom instruction, simulation-based learning and diverse clinical experiences across the lifespan. Clinical placements occur in a variety of healthcare settings, including acute care hospitals, community health agencies, long-term care facilities and specialty practice environments. These experiences allow students to apply theoretical knowledge, develop psychomotor skills and build professional communication and collaboration competencies. Graduates of the BSN program are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN®) and are prepared to pursue a wide range of career opportunities in healthcare settings.
