PLN - Bachelor of Science in Nursing ~ Accelerated Nursing Track

This program is referred to as a BSN Prelicensure program as opposed to an RN-BSN program, which is for a Registered Nurse (RN) to complete a BSN.

Graduates of the BSN Prelicensure are prepared for the role of the BSN nurse as clinicians and leaders. A graduate is a life-long learner and will enhance the nursing profession by providing evidence-based nursing practice that is population centered, as well as grounded in spiritual, ethical, and compassionate care. The BSN program is built upon a foundation of the liberal arts and sciences and is integrated throughout the nursing curriculum. Upon meeting the program outcomes and meeting clinical practice standards for BSN Nursing practices, graduates are eligible to write the licensing exam to become a registered nurse in any state.

Achieving your BSN will provide many career opportunities for you now and in the future, as this is the preferred path for RNs. Most healthcare organizations prefer to hire nurses with a BSN degree which will make you a more desirable nursing candidate.
