Assessment of Student Learning - Traditional Students Only

At specified times in the BSN nursing curriculum, student knowledge and skills are assessed to determine if students are progressing as expected toward expected outcomes:

• Preliminary Assessment
  • Students take this test as part of the admission process. The assessment includes measures of reading comprehension and math. A weighted score composed of 25% admission assesment score and 75% pre-nursing GPA is used to rank students for admission to the nursing major.
• Intra-curricular Assessments:
  • Testing occurs periodically during the student's progression through the program.
• Exit Exam
  • The final assessment occurs in the fourth year, spring semester.

RN to BSN Degree Completion Option

Admission to the RN to BSN classroom cohort and RN to BSN online nursing cohort

1. Registered nurses seeking admission to the Indiana University Southeast school of Nursing must apply to the Office of Admissions at IU Southeast for classroom cohort and online cohort must apply to admissions of IU online. With exception of admission to the nursing cohort, all School of Nursing policies pertinent to the BSN program majors also apply to registered nurse undergraduate students.
2. To be eligible to take online nursing classes, the RN student must have graduated from an ACEN accredited school of nursing and submit proof of licensure in the state of practice. 
3. The RN-BSN classroom requires an Indiana license, immunizations, Basic Life Support certification, and criminal background check. RN-BSN also requires BLS CPR, background check, and proof of RN license.
4. Admission to the Nursing cohort is not competitive. RN students who have successfully completed general education requirements and maintain a 2.5 cumulative GPA and 2.7 nursing GPA are eligible to begin the nursing cohort. Students can take nursing classes in the online program with still having 9 credits of general education needed.
5. There is no time limit for general education classes in the RN-BSN program.
6. The nursing admission GPA is calculated on all completed courses required for the BSN degree. Grades earned in transfer courses accepted and applied to required general education credit hours will count in the calculation of the entry GPA.
