RN to BSN Program
RN to BSN Flexible Option:
Grambling State University School of Nursing is accredited by the National
League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and approved by the Louisiana
State Board of Nursing. The RN has the same course requirements as the generic
students for the BSN degree. General education courses are sequenced for
completion prior to the professional nursing component. After general education
requirements are met, an RN can complete the program in two semesters.
Admissions to the School of Nursing RN to BSN Program
Pre-Nursing
Application for admission to the pre-nursing program is the same process
as required by the University; the application must be submitted to the
University Admissions Office.
If an RN has graduated from an accredited RN program, the laboratory hours
in the required science courses may be waived if the student has a ?C? or
higher grade in a total of 20 semester credit hours in appropriate science
courses (Human Anatomy & Physiology, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic &
Biochemistry, Microbiology).
Professional
The completed admission packet must be postmarked on or before April 1
for a fall admission and October 1 for a spring admission. The admission
requirements and materials include:
- Current enrollment or eligibility for enrollment at GSU
- A notarized admission application
- Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended (GSU
also)
- Completion of all required pre-nursing courses with the grade of "C"
or above

When an RN completes the first semester courses of the professional component,
credit will then be awarded for 42 semester credit hours of nursing which
correspond with content of courses for which credit was earned in a previous
RN program.
