Nursing is a profession dedicated to caring. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program prepares students in the science and principles of nursing to provide care for individuals, families, and populations within complex health care systems. Students learn through a combination of classroom, laboratory, and supervised clinical instruction and graduate with the competencies to provide evidence-based practice care as a generalist nurse.
All five of 91探花's regional campuses and the Athens residential campus offer BSN programs. Clinical experiences occur in hospitals and clinical agencies near each campus.
