Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
RN to BSN. Registered Nurses (RN’s) work in fast-paced health care environments that demand the ability to quickly analyze information, precisely communicate with other team members, and execute intervention. The curriculum in CMC’s RN to BSN program was created using an academic progression model and evidence-based research aimed to enhance the professional practice of its graduates and prepare them for this fast-paced environment. To be eligible for the RN to BSN degree program, you must have completed an Associate’s degree or accredited diploma program in Nursing and have a current professional nursing license to practice as an RN.
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing- RN to BSN program is an academic progression model that builds upon your nursing knowledge and clinical experiences gained in the Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program. Students will broaden the scope of their knowledge with greater emphasis on nursing theory, community health, population-focused care, research and evidence-based practices and leadership. Evidence-based practice uses current nursing and medical research incorporated into quality, safe patient care techniques creating professional nursing practice. Nursing as a science is based in research, both qualitative and quantitative, that is used to guide and create professional nursing practice.
The RN to BSN program has been approved by the Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) and the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). The nursing program has received candidacy status with the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and applicant status with the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
