If you are a Registered Nurse (R.N.) seeking an opportunity for professional growth then the
R.N. to B.S.N. Completion option is designed for you. Students may enter as new graduates
from an accredited associate degree nursing program or from a diploma program of
nursing or R.N.’s with many years experience may enter to earn their B.S. in
Nursing. You do not have to be a graduate of Vincennes University to take advantage of this
program. You must possess an Indiana Registered Nursing license prior to enrolling in any
clinical nursing courses.
WHY VU?
Registered Nurses who have earned an Associate Degree in Nursing may be eligible to enter the RN
to BSN Completion Program and will be able to complete the BSN requirements in four full-time
semesters or students may decide to attend on a part-time basis. This is true for the VU
Jasper Campus as well.
THE VU ADVANTAGE
The R.N. to B.S.N. completion program will prepare the professional nurse for leadership roles
in patient care in all healthcare areas. Graduates will be prepared to function with
baccalaureate competencies in delivering nursing care and to assist in the improvement of
healthcare delivery systems. This program is designed using face-to-face instruction,
providing direct contact with experienced nursing faculty in a college setting. Clinical
experiences will be one-to-one with experienced nurses in a variety of settings and will be
arranged on an individual basis to meet the needs of the student as well as the objectives of the
program. Topics covered in the program include health promotion, delivery, diversity,
critical thinking, leadership, and technology.
The VU or VUJC R.N. to B.S.N. program will also provide a more convenient option for R.N.s in
the local area. Providing the opportunity for an advanced education closer to home. Personal
attention and small class sizes are just two of the many reasons to choose VU as you continue your
nursing education.
B.S.N. Curriculum-this assumes all general education requirements for an Associate of Science
Degree have been met.
