GLENVILLE STATE NOW OFFERING RN TO BSN DEGREES

(04/21/2005)
The nursing program at Glenville State College has expanded to include a RN to BSN degree for registered nurses. The program, which is a joint offering between GSC and the West Virginia University School of Nursing, is designed to provide working registered nurses the opportunity to earn their BSN degree.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for nurses with an associate degree to pursue a baccalaureate degree and to increase their career options," stated Theresa Cowan, Chair of the GSC Division of Science and Mathematics and Coordinator of the GSC/WVU Joint Nursing Program.

Prospective students with an associate degree in nursing are awarded 50 credits for degree work completed. Additional non-nursing prerequisite courses could be required and may be taken at GSC.

Once the student is accepted into the RN to BSN program at GSC, all of the required nursing courses will be offered online by GSC nursing faculty. GSC faculty will also be available for on-campus assistance.

GSC is currently accepting applications for the fall 2005 class. All non-nursing prerequisites must be completed before students are accepted into the program.

Prospective BSN students are encouraged to call 304-462-7361 ext. 7301 for more information.
