RN to BSN Degree Completion Program
This program option is offered on the IUB, IUPUC, and IUPUI campuses for nurses holding an associate degree or diploma in nursing from an accredited nursing program. Students must provide evidence of current nurse (RN) licensure in any state where the student is practicing for the purpose of completing clinical course requirements. Because the program is flexible—students can enter the program in the fall, spring, or summer, taking distance accessible courses—it is perfect for those who want to continue their nursing education while maintaining their current work and/or family responsibilities. Unless otherwise specified, all School of Nursing policies pertinent to BSN program majors also apply to registered nurse undergraduate students.
As an RN to BSN student, you'll learn current trends in health care and develop the knowledge and skills necessary to adapt to these trends through changing practice. With a comprehensive academic foundation in the sciences and humanities, you'll be well-prepared to meet the current and future health needs of society.
Studies will focus on the following areas:
- Health promotion
- Disease prevention
- Health restoration
- Health maintenance
- Management of individuals/families coping with acute and chronic illness
Because this program builds on the courses you have already completed, you’ll also receive credit for many of the general education courses completed as part of your ASN or diploma program.
