Bridge to MSN Program
Many registered nurses already have a baccalaureate degree
in a non-nursing major and are understandably reluctant
to take redundant classes in order to gain another
baccalaureate degree in nursing. Our 12 week bridge program--delivered entirely online--therefore offers nurses in
this situation access to the College's wide range of
master's degrees.
About the courses
The program consists of two 3-credit courses--Complex Care I and
Complex Care II--which are designed to prepare students for the rigor
of a master's level nursing program.
