Rn-bsn (track A) And Adn-bsn Collaborative Track in California State University Sacramento, USA

Rn-bsn (track A) And Adn-bsn Collaborative Track in California State University Sacramento

The School of Nursing offers two pathways for students who start their nursing education in a non-baccalaureate program to earn a bachelor's degree (BSN).

These two pathways are:

1. RN-BSN - Traditional 15-Week Semester track
2. ADN to BSN Collaborative track

Both tracks are designed to be completed in 12-15 months if attending full time. Nursing courses are offered in hybrid format (mostly online). Depending on the student's need, General Education courses may be hybrid or on campus. The programs include a Community/Public Health clinical course (NURS 174C). Completion of the full program of study, which includes NURS 174C, qualifies students to apply for a Public Health Nurse (PHN) certificate from the the California Board of Registered Nursing. The School of Nursing faculty strongly recommend NURS 174C for all students as it is an important part of the BSN education and offers opportunities for diverse nursing roles and employment.
