The RN to BSN courses are offered in an online format. Two types of students are eligible to enroll in this option: Those who are licensed RN’s and those enrolled in a Colorado community college associate degree nursing program (ADN). A licensed RN includes both an associate degree and a diploma nurse. Those enrolled in the community college have an opportunity to concurrently enroll in the RN to BSN program and begin taking select bachelor level courses. This allows them to move seamlessly from the associate degree program to the bachelor’s degree program. These students must pass the NCLEX-RN and be licensed in order to take the remaining BSN courses.
The student must confer with the RN-BSN advisor to develop a program of study. The RN-BSN option will include 33 credit hours (see the Academic Policies section of the catalog), which will be posted the semester prior to anticipated graduation, 57 credit hours of prerequisite or corequisite courses and 30 credit hours of nursing and approved elective courses for a total of 120 credit hours. Students must pass all nursing courses with a B or better and maintain a nursing 3.0 GPA. RNs transferring from community colleges can transfer in 57 prerequisite credits along with 33 RN credits of which 10 are considered upper division for a total of 90 credit hours. This applies only to the students in the RN to BSN option. Students must provide evidence of RN licensure in order to enroll in NSG 453 SYNTHESIS FOR RN'S (4.00 c.h.) NSG 453L SYNTHESIS FOR RN'S LAB (5.00 c.h.)
