Bachelor of Science in NursingBack to top
The four-year BSN program includes a core of knowledge in the humanities and the behavioral, physical and biological sciences, as well as theory and practice of professional nursing. The School's nursing courses are based on the Georgetown University Nursing Model and prepare graduates for practice as generalists. Nursing coursework and clinical practice begin in the first year, and the senior elective allows students to request a particular clinical or professional area of interest. After completion of the baccalaureate program, graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX examination for licensure to practice as professional nurses. Second Degree BSN ProgramBack to topThe Second Degree BSN offers individuals with a bachelor’s (non-nursing) degree to obtain a second bachelor’s in nursing in 16 months. Students are engaged in full-time study for three semesters and part of a summer, with two weeks of vacation before and after the Summer term. Students graduate from the program in either May or December with a bachelor's degree and are eligible to sit for NCLEX.
Master of Science in NursingBack to topThe master's program prepares advanced practice nurses to meet the certification requirements for respective specialized areas of nursing practice:
The graduate core courses encompass interdisciplinary, nursing and science requirements that provide content essential to all advanced practice nurses. The advanced nursing courses, which vary by specialty area, expand and extend knowledge gained in the core, and provide an opportunity for students to develop skill in evidence-based, holistic practice. Following program completion, students are prepared to sit for national certification exams. Direct Entry to Advanced Practice (Combined Second Degree BSN/MSN)Back to topThis program is for individuals with a bachelor's degree in another field who wish to become advanced practice nurses. Building upon our experience with the Second Degree Bachelor's program (see above), Direct Entry provides a slightly more streamlined path to advanced practice.
