The BS-BA to BSN program is an accelerated program for college graduates who wish to become a registered nurse with a bachelor's degree in nursing. It is designed for full time study. After 18 months of continuous enrollment, successful students obtain the Bachelor of Science in nursing degree (BSN) and are eligible to take the licensing examination for registered professional nurse (RN). Major Learning Goals CRITICAL THINKING: Employ scholarly inquiry and evidence-based reasoning and creativity in the process of assessment, interpretation, analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and inference as a basis for professional nursing practice. NURSING INTERVENTIONS: Ensure quality care by applying theory, evidence-based clinical judgment and decision-making, and patient care technology in the delivery of safe and skilled nursing therapeutics with individuals, families, communities, and populations across the health-illness continuum. PROFESSIONAL ROLE: Demonstrate knowledge, attitudes, professional values, personal qualities and behaviors consistent with the nursing roles of health care designer and coordinator, organization and system leader, and advocate for consumers and the nursing profession. CARING: Provide empathetic, culturally sensitive, and compassionate care for individuals, families, communities, and populations that uphold moral, legal, and ethical humanistic principles. COMMUNICATION: Integrate therapeutic, interpersonal, intraprofessional, interprofessional and informatics communication processes in professional nursing practice. Career Profile Demand for professional nurses is high and is predicted to increase due to changes in health care, the growing number of older persons and the large number of nurses nearing retirement age. Nursing positions are available in all areas of nursing in every region of the country. The need for nurses is especially acute in intensive care, rehabilitation, geriatrics and long-term care. Employment in home health care continues to grow rapidly. This is in response to the increasing number of older persons with functional disabilities, consumer preference for care in the home and technological advances that make it possible to bring increasingly complex treatment into the home.
