Accelerated Online Bachelor's to BSN Program
Program Overview
This program allows qualified students who already have a Bachelor’s degree to earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN) within a 12 month time period. Students must meet admission qualifications and have completed all academic prerequisites before the beginning of the program.
The program currently has two cohorts. One runs from May-May; the other from October-October. Students take one course at a time (although some clinical courses run concurrently with a corresponding theory course) and progress through the program as a cohort. Theory courses are offered online at a rate of one credit per week. The rapid pace demands a full-time commitment to academics. Therefore, students are required to sign an agreement stating they will not hold employment during the program. There are three weeks of campus residency: approximately three months into the program students come to campus for two weeks of intensive skills and health assessments labs and the first clinical rotation. The last week of the program, students come to campus for the culminating capstone experience.
Students complete clinical rotations in their home cities or nearby locations under the direct guidance of a qualified registered nurse preceptor and are supervised by UW Oshkosh clinical faculty. Generally, travel distance to clinical sites is within a 50-mile radius of the student's home community.
