Frequently Asked Questions about the RN-to-BSN Bridge Program


 

Where is the RN-to-BSN Bridge program offered?

The RN-to-BSN program is offered on the Corsicana campus.
 

May I apply before taking all the pre-requisities?

Yes. All pre-requisities must be completed before the first class day. Acceptance to the RN-to-BSN program will be contingent upon completion of all required pre-requisites before the first class day.

 

How are applicants selected for the RN-to-BSN Bridge program?

If there are more applicants than seats available, applicants with the highest number of points will be offered admission. Points will be earned for the following criteria.         
  • Graduate of Navarro College ADN program (see transcript to verify)
  • Lives or works in a Navarro College Service Area (see copy of DL or reference letter to verify)
  • GPA from nursing science coursework: Nutrition, Anatomy and Physiology I & II, Microbiology
  • GPA on associate degree nursing coursework
  • Community service (must provide written explanation and contact number)
  • Leadership/involvement in extracurricular and/or professional activities (must provide written explanation and contact number)
  • History of withdrawals, repeats, failures in ADN or RN-BSN program will result in a point deduction

 

Is there an expiration date on my science courses?

There is no expiration date on science courses for applicants of the RN-to-BSN program.

 

Can I still work while attending the program?

The RN-to-BSN curriculum follows a hybrid format, meaning much of the course work can be completed online. There are scheduled activities and exams which are held on campus. Clinical hours must also be completed in specific clinical sites. Otherwise, attendance requirements must be met, but the program does provide flexibility. Meeting dates/times will be noted in course outlines, and made available at the start of each course.

 

Is the RN-to-BSN Bridge program accredited?

In order for new nursing programs to become accredited, they must complete the candidacy process. The Navarro College RN-to-BSN is currently seeking accreditation through the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN). The first step toward achieving Candidacy is determining if the nursing program and its governing organization are eligible to pursue ACEN accreditation. The Navarro College RN-to-BSN Bridge program has been deemed eligible by the ACEN to pursue candidacy. The next step is for the program to submit a candidacy presentation. Candidate status is granted after a review of the applicant program’s potential to achieve ACEN accreditation by the ACEN Directors. Candidate status does not guarantee that a Candidate program will achieve initial accreditation. However, if that Candidate status does result in initial accreditation, the effective date of the program’s accreditation will be the date on which Candidacy was approved.

 

In the event that Navarro College does not receive candidacy status before the first cohort of students complete the program, the College has secured Teach-Out Agreements which enable students to transfer to an accredited RN-BSN program to complete their program of study.
