RN to BSN Program Details

Mississippi College School of Nursing, in keeping with its commitment to providing opportunities for educational advancement for working RNs, is initiating a major revision of the BSN Completion Track beginning May 2008. The faculty has reaffirmed their commitment to provide meaningful learning opportunities with flexibility in delivery of courses and clinical experiences. It is anticipated that these online courses will allow the student to continue employment while attaining a baccalaureate degree in nursing from Mississippi College.

Students may validate their previous nursing course work and experience through personal interviews, and the completion of NUR 324. Successful completion of the validation process results in the awarding of 30 semester hours of work at senior college level for: NUR 325 (5 hours), NUR 327(7 hours), NUR 343 (3 hours), NUR 344 (4 hours), NUR 345 (5 hours), NUR 414 (4 hours) and NUR 416 (2 hours) for a total of 30 hours total credit at the cost of $8.00* per hour (for a total of $240.00).

The faculty has reaffirmed their commitment to provide meaningful learning opportunities with flexibility in scheduling and clinical experiences. Clinical experience is only connected with Community Health Nursing and Nursing Management. There is lab time allowed for the Health Assessment course. Clinical experiences will be tailored to the student's personal and professional needs. A broad range of clinical experiences meet the clinical requirements of both courses.
