Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing
The Loewenberg College of Nursing traditional BSN program provides education and training
for pre-licensure nursing students to receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
and be eligible, upon graduation, to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination
(NCLEX) required for registered nurse (RN) licensure. The curriculum is based on requirements
of the Tennessee Board of Nursing (TBON), as well as the Commission on Collegiate
Nursing Education (CCNE). The program includes standard core content (pathophysiology,
pharmacology, health assessment, foundational nursing skills, evidence-based practice),
nursing and clinical content across the lifespan (maternity/OB, newborn, pediatrics,
adult, older adult), and content on the profession (mental health, professional nursing,
leadership and management, ethics, policy, and transition to practice).
Accelerated students achieve a second bachelor’s degree that includes four semesters
of courses in the nursing major (60 credits).
