In our BSN program offered via a hybrid/online format through our Nashville, Knoxville, Atlanta and Orlando campuses, you can complete select courses online, with required lab hours and course testing held on campus during the week or on weekends. With online classes, in-person labs, and hands-on clinical training in a medical facility, you’ll work to prepare to function as part of a healthcare team to provide collaborative, interdisciplinary care that improves patient outcomes. You’ll also focus on how to delegate tasks, supervise patient care, and evaluate personnel within a team setting. In your upper division nursing courses, you’ll undertake a rigorous schedule with approximately 20 hours of focused class time per week, along with reading, analysis, and other work outside of the classroom. Labs and testing will be scheduled on campus depending on clinical schedules. Courses explore mental health, pediatric, adult health, maternal infant, and community health nursing, as well as topics like nursing management and nursing research. By the time you earn your BSN, you’ll have worked to develop a strong academic and clinical foundation, as well as the skills and technical competence needed.
