The Accelerated BSN prepares students with the essential knowledge and skills to care for diverse populations in an era of increasingly complex healthcare. Our partnerships provide students with 500 hours of critical clinical practice in a variety of settings. We retain a ratio of one faculty to eight students in all clinical settings to provide direct supervision and mentorship.
Classroom instruction includes lectures, small and large group discussion, case studies, guest speakers, and interactive instruction.
The clinical team supervises and evaluates students' skills daily and at the end of each rotation. The team serves as mentors during patient and family engagement.
The simulation lab promotes competence and elevates confidence in direct patient care skills. Students practice and demonstrate basic foundational skills and receive feedback as they prepare for direct patient care.
Students complete a variety of healthcare clinical rotations in specialties areas across the lifepan. The clinical team works with students to provide high-quality patient care and family education. Each clinical shift includes debriefing with a clinical team member.
Community-based organizations provide students with experiences in public health, home health, hospice, shelters, a homeless clinic, outpatient programs, and faith communities. Students engage in assessments, screenings, and participate in health fairs and the campus flu clinic.
