The Second Degree Nursing Programs are entry-level accelerated programs designed to provide nursing education for those who hold baccalaureate or higher degrees in other disciplines. They include accelerated preparation in basic nursing sufficient to prepare students to take the NCLEX-RN Licensure Exam.
S.C.A.N. students take pre-licensure theory and clinical courses and selected graduate nursing courses, followed by an internship, to prepare them to take the RN licensure examination. After successfully obtaining the RN license, students then progress with more graduate courses, selecting the nursing specialty practice area they wish to pursue for the MSN degree.
The program is designed as an intensive three-year sequence of pre- and post-licensure study that enables students to become registered nurses and also leads to the MSN degree with a clinical specialty.
This program meets Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) requirements for licensure.
