Nursing Programs Offered

BSN Program Details

The Nursing major provides preparation for serving God as a professional nurse generalist. All liberal arts and science courses are taught from a biblical Christian perspective; all nursing courses are based on the nursing program's own Biblical Conceptual Model which serves as the foundation for the curriculum. The program is approved by the South Carolina State Board of Nursing, and successful completion enables the graduate to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). A baccalaureate program is to be preferred over an associate degree program because of additional knowledge, experience and service potential. The BSN prepares the nurse for graduate nursing specialization and effective Christian service. This program requires 55 hours in the major and has three academic years of nursing clinical courses as compared to two in most other RN programs.

One year of chemistry, one year of biology and two years of mathematics are recommended of high school work. Students with weak backgrounds in mathematics and/or science should consider our five-year curriculum plan. Please check with the division chairman.
