NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University’s School of Nursing, in collaboration with the University’s College of Graduate and Continuing Studies (CGCS), has launched a new online bachelor’s degree completion program, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, designed for licensed RNs who want to pursue their degree while balancing work and other life responsibilities. The program is set to begin its first trimester in August 2019.
“This is a great opportunity for Norwich to expand on its proud history and commitment to educating leaders by providing working registered nurses with the ability to expand on their current expertise and achieve their career and educational goals,” College of Graduate and Continuing Studies Vice President and Dean William Clements said.
Similar to other College of Graduate and Continuing Studies online degree completion programs, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree can be completed in 18 months or less and will have multiple start dates throughout the year. Prior learning within an Associate Degree in Nursing, and any additional prior education will be evaluated to facilitate transfer credits and provide the most efficient way for nurses to earn their degrees. The biggest goal of all College of Graduate and Continuing Studies degree completion programs is to help students successfully attain their education based on their individual needs.
The RN to Bachelor of Science in Nursing curriculum focuses on leadership, evidence-based practice, evolving concepts in technology and informatics, human pathopharmacology, community nursing and end-of-life care. Norwich nursing programs are led by expert faculty and dedicated staff members who offer support from day one to graduation, and will often provide support post-graduation to help students achieve their academic, professional and personal goals.
“Increasingly, employers are recognizing the importance of (Bachelor of Science in Nursing)-prepared nurses in meeting the complexity of healthcare delivery,” said Norwich University Nursing Director Paulette Thabault, DNP, APRN, JD, FAANP. “This program serves our communities and the nursing profession by allowing a path for nurses to advance their education and their careers.”
Upon completion of Norwich’s RN-Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, those who wish to earn a master’s degree in nursing may fast track into the College of Graduate and Continuing Studies’ Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) education program through an expedited application process.
