RN to BSN program

 

RN-BSN Online Option Program

A Bachelor of Science in Nursing is only as far away as a computer, thanks to the online RN-BSN Outreach Option through the MU Sinclair School of Nursing. The outreach option is for nurses who cannot travel to attend traditional classes on a regular basis. To complement the weekly online assignments, students may need to visit the MU campus one to two times per semester. The program emphasizes critical thinking and practice skills necessary for clinical management of patients within a constantly changing health care environment.

To see if the RN/BSN online option would work for you, test drive the Blackboard demo course. Instructions for how to log on are given at this site.

The RN-BSN Outreach Option is for the graduate of an associate degree or diploma program, currently licensed (or eligible for licensure) to practice nursing in Missouri , and who wishes to complete a BSN degree. A total of 120 credits is required to earn a BSN from Mizzou. The length of the program varies, depending on equivalent prerequisite courses completed and choice of part-time or full-time enrollment. Students may enroll in nursing courses before completing prerequisite courses, under the advisement of the Adviser of the RN-BSN Outreach Option. All prerequisites must be completed before completing the last nursing course.
