The Charter Oak State College RN/ADN to BSN program is an online program combined with a practicum experience component for RNs (Registered Nurses) seeking to advance their education to the baccalaureate level. In addition, the program addresses the increasing need for baccalaureate prepared nurses nationwide. Its core nursing courses were developed to meet the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Baccalaureate Education (AACN, 2008). The program specifically addresses the gap between an Associate Degree in nursing and the Baccalaureate Degree in nursing by addressing health care policy, evidence-based practice, population health, continuous quality improvement, safety, interprofessional collaboration, and leadership within the health care system.
Sixty-seven students are currently enrolled in the program. The program is now accepting applications for classes beginning August 26, 2021.
