Bachelor of Science / Nursing
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is designed to be an RN-to-Baccalaureate level completion program. It will serve as an instrument for advancing the nursing practice of Registered Nurses. The students are expected to develop their critical thinking skills and to apply evidence based assessment to patient care. They are expected to understand the risk, liability, and benefits of delegation. In addition they will learn how to effectively delegate duties and responsibilities to colleagues and subordinates.
The education and training through the program will result in increased nursing professionalism and a higher quality of nurse-delivered health care, especially in a rural setting. The program is composed of courses and field experiences that will provide Registered Nurses with added knowledge and the development of higher level thought processes. The resulting maturation will allow integration of current health care models and evidence based practice to the daily delivery of nursing care.
