Nevada State College’s online RN to BSN program is designed “for intellectually curious, compassionate, globally aware nurses seeking to advance their education, practice, and career.” Founded on the principle of caring science, the program is uniquely structured to emphasize cultural sensitivity, humility, professionalism, leadership, collaboration and critical thinking with the aim to providing excellent quality patient care. The program is designed for degree-holding nurses with a current RN license; under the reciprocity agreements maintained by NC-SARA, there are considerations that non-Nevada residents must make concerning validity of the degree and subsequent licensure. Student support services and resources available to online students includes admission, financial aid and enrollment, bookstore and library access, tutoring and academic assistance featuring the writing center, technology services as well as veteran’s and disability services.
