Bachelor of Science, RN to BSN Program (Online) Three-Year-Plan  

There are two different and separate tracks to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.

This track is fully online and developed for the working nurse who desires to continue their educational career. 

The second BSN track is the Pre-Licensure BSN track designed for students who hold no professional nursing degree or license and desire to become a professional registered nurse (RN). Information for this track is located under Programs of Study>Nursing>Main Campus Bachelor of Science, Nursing 

 

Equipping students to serve Christ and the world as competent professional nurses through Spirit-empowered ethical practice informed by critical thinking, life-long learning, and leadership. 
 
The vision of the Nursing Program, also developed to reflect the vision of the University, is described below:
 
The Southeastern University Nursing Program will offer a professional education program that prepares students to provide excellent nursing care to individuals, families, and communities through the integration of faith, learning, and service.
 
Faculty will provide a Christ-centered, student-focused learning community that encourages students to grow in their role as professional nurses.
 
Students will gain an educational foundation that allows them to provide safe, evidence-based, and culturally competent care for all patients, with special emphasis on the underserved. They will use clinical judgment to integrate evolving technology and research findings into caring interventions that improve patients’ health and support the sick and dying, their families, and communities.
 
Students will commit to life-long learning, rigorous scholarship, leadership, and collaborative interprofessional practice as a means of serving their communities.

The baccalaureate degree program in nursing at Southeastern University is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (http://www.ccneaccreditation.org).
