Educational Options for Registered Nurses RN - BSN - MSN

 

The RN-BSN-MSN option is designed for registered nurse (RN) students who have obtained their basic nursing education at either a Diploma or Associate Degree Program and wish to earn both the BSN and MSN. The RN-BSN-MSN option enables RN students to qualify for admission to graduate nursing education at Thomas Jefferson University through a combined BSN/MSN option.

The goal of the RN-BSN-MSN option is to provide a mechanism for RN students to earn the BSN and MSN degrees in a seamless integrated curriculum. At the conclusion of the program, the BSN and MSN degrees are awarded.

Students who have been admitted to the RN-BSN-MSN option may be awarded up to 10.5 credits (two of three courses) for previous study or experiences that can be validated through Portfolio Assessment.

Students may prepare a Portfolio Assessment for Community Health Nursing, Advanced Concepts of Nursing Leadership, or Computers in Nursing (two of three courses). Students may obtain guidelines for preparation of the Portfolio from the Department of Nursing.

A fee is assessed for evaluating the Portfolio and for posting credit awarded.

Nursing knowledge is validated by documentation of graduation from an accredited Associate Degree or Diploma nursing program. Thirty-five credits for nursing knowledge will be awarded to the student upon successful completion of the RN-BSN option.

Students may complete the option in two years of study full-time study or on a part-time basis.
