Nevada State College offers an RN-to-BSN program that is specifically designed to ensure that working nurses can balance their studies with their professional obligations. This program features fully online and asynchronous coursework, multiple start dates throughout the year, a generous transfer policy, and field experience requirements that students can meet at their current place of employment. More than 90% of faculty who teach in the program have received specialized training in distance education. Online learners at NSC also enjoy a variety of support services, including web-based tutoring, 24/7 technical support, and personalized feedback on essays and research papers. You must currently hold a nursing license to apply to this program. Generally, prospective students also need an associate degree from an accredited institution earned with at least a 2.0 GPA, though the college does provide provisional admission to some nurses who hold nursing diplomas. Applicants can expect to receive their admission decision within 24-48 hours.
