Detailed Requirements for RN to BSN Students
The Kitty DeGree School of Nursing provides an ONLINE opportunity for registered nurses
to be admitted into the baccalaureate degree program. Graduates in nursing from CNEA
or ACEN accredited and state-approved diploma and associate degree programs who have
