Graceland University – School of Nursing
Founded in 1895, Graceland University has been a leader in nursing education for more than 50 years and was the first national provider of distance nursing education. Through a nationally recognized distance learning program started in 1987, we offer undergraduate and graduate degree programs for registered nurses with the same experienced professors and the same solid curriculum Graceland is known for. You complete assignments when it's convenient for you - at home or wherever you have Internet access – and participate in practicums within your own community, anywhere in the US. Graceland also offers:
- Programs that combine the most recent theory with hands-on experience needed to reinforce learning
- Ongoing relationships with some of the finest health care institutions in the nation
- Up to 30 hours of credit for previous undergraduate nursing courses
- No time limit on transfer of previous college credit
All programs are nationally accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC, 61 Broadway, 33rd Floor, New York, NY 10006, 800-669-1656, www.nlnac.org.) and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE, One Dupont Circle NW, Suite 530, Washington, DC 20036, 202-887-6961, www.aacne.nche.edu) and are approved by the Missouri State Board of Nursing and the Iowa Board of Nursing.
Online RN-BSN/MSN Bridge Program
This unique RN-MSN program offers a registered nurse the opportunity to complete a BSN degree and MSN degree in one combined program. By doing so, students are able to save themselves at least six hours of coursework as they are not required to take two of the BSN courses and also have the option of challenging three other courses in the BSN curriculum.
The career options in the MSN part of the program are Family Nurse Practitioner and/or Nurse Educator.
A four-day, on-campus focus session is required for the BSN portion and two more on-campus focus sessions are required for completion of the MSN portion of this program. Students are required to complete practicums in both the BSN and MSN portions of the RN-MSN program. Practicums may be completed in the student's own community.
