Nursing鈥擜ccelerated Program (Second Degree), B.S.N.
好色先生 This Degree
Completion of this major prepares one for a career as a Registered Nurse working in a wide range of healthcare organizations. Accelerated programs provide innovative educational opportunities to non-nurse college graduates. Students build on their previous undergraduate experience and transition into the nursing role within a compressed, 12-month timeframe. The curriculum reflects course objectives, content, and clinical learning that are similar to those of a traditional four-year curriculum. However, courses and clinical experiences are offered in an intense, full-time format without breaks between sessions. Clinical experiences in hospitals, laboratories, and the community supplement classroom learning as students develop the skills and competencies to provide nursing care across the healthcare continuum and to assume leadership roles in the nursing profession. Students must complete several prerequisites prior to entering the actual accelerated nursing curriculum.
