RN-BSN Bridge

RN to BSN Bridge

The RN-to-BSN program is delivered in hybrid and face-to-face formats on the Corsicana campus.
 
The Navarro College RN-to-BSN program is designed to prepare graduates of Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) and diploma programs, who already hold a Registered Nursing (RN) license, with additional skills in management, leadership, theory, and research to succeed and be promoted within the nursing profession. Students who complete the program receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). The BSN graduate will be qualified for supervisory positions such as nurse managers and patient unit coordinators. The BSN will also qualify the nurse to pursue a master’s degree that will prepare them for a variety of careers including advanced practice nurses, nurse anesthetists, nurse educators, nurse executives, health policy consultants, etc. Additionally, the BSN is an important first step in a pathway of educational advancement that could lead to a doctoral degree (PhD, DNP, EdD).

 

PROGRAM LENGTH RN-TO-BSN PROGRAM
The RN-to-BSN program is 120 credit hours in length: up to 36 hours of nursing content transfer credits will be awarded from the Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or diploma program and licensure in the Texas. Students will need to complete 51 additional hours of General Education – Liberal Arts Core Curriculum and 33 hours of upper-level nursing courses for a total of 120 credit hours.  The upper division courses can be completed in three semesters, Fall, Spring, and Summer.
