BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE IN NURSING
(RN to BSN program)
The RN to BSN degree is designed for the individual who has earned an associate degree in nursing (ADN), or graduated from a hospital diploma program, and holds a current and active registered nurse (RN) license in NC or a compact state. The BSN degree program provides the academic knowledge and skills necessary to advance to the professional entry level in nursing whether the individual chooses to stay in his/her current position, seek a higher level position, and/or to apply to graduate school.
The College of Fine and Applied Arts, in cooperation with the Office of Extension and Distance education, delivers the undergraduate RN to BSN program to selected sites in western, NC. The program blends transfer credit with Appalachian's upper division course work (Nursing courses taken in the junior and senior years of college) to provide local access for RNs to all courses required for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.
