Thank you for your interest in the nursing program at North Carolina Agricultural
and Technical State University (NC A&T). The School of Nursing at NC A&T State
University offers several programs for selected health care professionals to earn
a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BSN). We strive to make our programs
accessible to working health professionals and to provide a supportive and caring environment.
The goal of our BSN degree is to prepare a Registered Nurse (RN) with the ability
to function as a professional nurse in various settings, provide exceptional
leadership and managerial skills, use applied research in evidence-based practice,
and prepare for graduate nursing education. Professionalism, including the aspects
of compassion, dedication, volunteerism, ethical conduct, and scholarship, is emphasized.
All candidates complete the University admission process, and be admitted to
NC A&T, before acceptance into a BSN completion program. Candidates must
complete the undergraduate pre-requisite science and liberal arts studies as a
foundation of our BSN. The BSN degree requires 128 semester hours for
graduation, and 62 semester credit hours may be transferred from another
academic institution and/or earned through College Level Proficiency
Examinations (CLEP) (up to 15 credit hours). However, no more than 80 hours
may be transferred from another institution. In addition, all completion students
must take Nursing 390, Transition to Professional Nursing Practice.

You’re already an RN, so what's next? Many of us deal with this frustration at some point
in our career and feel the need to bring more meaning into our lives. As an RN, you are
already committed to an exciting and rewarding career but fell that something is missing,
or maybe you want to do more to further assist others in contributing to their well being.
Acquiring a BSN is the next step at obtaining those newly formed goals and aspirations
you will seek to achieve. It is the beginning of a path to professional and/or advanced nursing.
The School of Nursing offers a learning environment that builds on prior knowledge and
experience and prepares the student for an administrative nursing career.
A Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree presents the opportunity for RN's to better apply
their skills and creates multiple avenues and benefits in the unyielding use of their gift.
With a BSN, RN's can further expand their nursing career, allowing them to become more
marketable in this ever-changing job market. North Carolina A&T State University School
of Nursing set up a foundation for each student to grow upon and take full advantage of
every possibility available in the nursing field. This, in turn, allows the RN student to
make use of their experience to its full potential, creating an even more promising outlook
on the student's road to further success.
