Bachelor of Science in Nursing - Concurrent A.S.N. to B.S.N. Enrollment Option

A partnership between selected Florida College System institutions and UCF College of Nursing to allow qualified Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) students to enroll in the RN to BSN program while completing the ASN program. This program allows simultaneous enrollment in both associate and baccalaureate nursing programs. The accelerated second degree Bachelor of Science (BSN) program is designed for students who already have a non-nursing bachelor’s degree or higher and now aim to become nurses. The program curriculum is very demanding with a strong emphasis on the sciences. It also includes service-learning courses with clinical rotations in culturally diverse, medically underserved communities, as well as clinical rotations in long-term care facilities, hospitals and other health care agencies. All nursing courses are offered during the day, while some clinical rotations may take place at night or on the weekends. The program provides a strong foundation for entry-level nursing practice and advancement into leadership positions and graduate studies. A baccalaureate-prepared nurse is prepared to provide comprehensive care in a variety of acute, community and rehabilitative settings.
