Program Code: NUR.S.BSN • Credit Hours: 120-121
Description
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree is designed to fill a workforce need by optimizing the practice of registered nurses (RN) who have earned an associate degree in nursing. This RN to BSN completion degree builds upon students’ previous nursing education as well as experience working as a registered nurse. Coursework contributes to a robust understanding of leadership in evidence-based, culturally responsive nursing care to promote health, prevent disease, and improve health outcomes in individuals and populations. Students must have graduated from an accredited pre-licensure nursing program and hold a valid, unencumbered, U.S. RN license.
Career Opportunities
The bachelor’s degree in nursing augments the foundational nursing degree to enhance clinical practice and improve outcomes for nurses working in direct patient care as well as nurses in leadership and management roles in which the minimum degree requirement is a bachelor’s degree in nursing. The deficit of nurses without a bachelor’s degree in nursing in the Dayton region is over 700.
