The University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing is expanding its RN to BSN online program and has additional space available for students who wish to start the program in August. The RN to BSN program allows registered nurses to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing in a streamlined program that can be completed in nine months.
Juliann Sebastian, Ph.D., dean of the UNMC College of Nursing, said the college remains committed to solving Nebraska’s serious nursing shortage, projected to grow to nearly 4,000 nurses by 2020. The goal is to boost enrollment and graduation rates, accelerate programs, and better prepare students for an increasingly complex nursing environment.
The curriculum is delivered online with most courses available on demand, anytime, to fit the student’s schedule. Some courses may occasionally require the class to meet live online. The format allows students to complete their BSN without needing to relocate to a city with a UNMC campus.
The college has extended the application deadline for the program and is accepting applications through June 30 for the fall semester which begins in late Aug.
