RN to BSN Program Details

The Faculty and Director of the University of Rio Grande-Holzer School of Nursing wish to extend to you an opportunity to expand your nursing knowledge and skills by enrolling as a student in the RN-BSN Program. The RN-BSN Program is designed as a Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree Program for Registered Nurses who have completed a State Board of Nursing approved pre-licensure R.N. associate degree or diploma in nursing program. The increased diversity and complexity of health care settings have created a need for nurses who have the ability to respond critically and analytically to the pressures in ever-changing economic, social, political, and scientific environments. Registered nurses can acquire these skills in the Program, while building upon their previous education and experience in nursing. Baccalaureate education prepares professional nurses as generalists in clinical practice settings, building on a foundation of knowledge in the sciences, humanities and related areas, integrated with nursing knowledge.

Clinical experiences will occur in a wide variety of acute and long term health care agencies and community settings serving diverse populations where role development, decision making, health status evaluation, and scholarship are emphasized.
