The four-semester degree completion track is for registered nurses who have previously earned a diploma or associate degree in nursing . The nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and approved by the Iowa Board of Nursing. The curriculum for the BSN is based on a solid foundation of courses in the humanities and social and natural sciences. Professional nursing practice requires skill in critical thinking, decision-making, human relations, management, and research as well as the technologies of nursing. Basic students complete many of the support courses during the first year of college. Nursing courses present the theory, science, and art of nursing through classroom and hands-on clinical experiences beginning in the sophomore year. Courses are sequenced to take students from simple through complex health situations. Clinical experiences include all major specialty areas of health care and take place in a variety of regional health care agencies. Personal growth and professional responsibility are developed as students gain experience in independent and collaborative roles delivering comprehensive nursing care. Upon earning the B.S.N., graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX RN) in any state. Graduates are prepared as generalists to practice professional nursing in a variety of settings.
