Bachelor of Science in Nursing
The BSN program provides students with a solid educational foundation that
prepares individuals for entry into the nursing profession. The nursing graduate incorporates the concepts of caring, communication, critical thinking,
professionalism, and holism to provide care for individuals, families and communities. The comprehensive theoretical and clinical practice components
allow South University graduates to succeed and make a smooth transition
into professional nursing practice. Graduates of the South University Nursing Program are encouraged to continue the educational process and are
prepared for the challenges of graduate study.
The BSN program is designed for the nonregistered nurse student. Students may complete prerequisite courses in as few as six quarters and then
make application to enter the nursing program, which is taught over seven
quarters. The program allows highly motivated fulltime students to complete
the program of study in nursing in a concentrated period of time. After successful completion of the nursing program, the graduate must pass the National Council Licensure Examination Registered Nurse (NCLEXRN) in order
to obtain licensure and begin practice as a registered nurse
