The RN-BSN program allows Registered Nurses to expand the breadth and depth of their knowledge to advance their professional role as a nurse leader and earn their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). The program is designed for the working nurse to improve patient outcomes, influence communities with knowledge of evidence-based practice, patient safety, and quality improvement, and can be completed in as little as 4 semesters. Upon completion of the program, nurses will be prepared for graduate study and be equipped for leadership positions where increasing levels of education are expected. In addition, graduates will earn a California Public Health Nurse certificate, expanding your opportunities to meet global health care needs within diverse communities. The RN-BSN program emphasizes quality and safety education for nurses as well as the AACN baccalaureate essentials in developing and guiding the curriculum content. These baccalaureate essentials enable nurses to provide patient-centered quality care in communities and with populations in a diverse and evolving health care system in the role of provider of care, designer/manager/coordinator of care, and member of a profession.
