online program. American Sentinel University students bring
significant work experience to the programs and seek to enhance

Time to Learn
You are a working professional, juggling your work, family and
social life, trying to get ahead and fulfill your career goals.
You don't have time to attend a traditional classroom-taking
hours out of your week to commute to a central location and
learn at specific time and place. That is why American Sentinel
University provides high-quality learning in an online
environment, allowing you to choose when, where and how you
learn.
Cutting Edge Programs
At American Sentinel University, our business, technology and
health care programs undergo constant improvement to deliver
up-to-date learning that is immediately relevant for you. More
than 53 full- and part-time faculty are working literally
around the clock to update curriculum and create new programs
that meet professional and job requirements at your point of
need.
Maximum Flexibility
With our programs, you choose how and when to learn. We offer
online faculty-led lectures and discussions over the internet,
self-study courses and the latest technology-driven educational
innovations, such as simulations and other forms of interactive
learning.
Nurturing Talent
At American Sentinel University we focus relentlessly on
nurturing talent--your talent. We were founded on the principle
of bringing the best traditions of American education to those
who, for reasons of time, geography or cost, could not
otherwise benefit from it. We put the student--you--at the
center of everything we do. We nurture talent in every part of
the university--students, alumni, faculty and staff--to create
opportunities where talent can flourish.
Academic Integrity
As an accredited university, American Sentinel University has
met the stringent tests of academic peer review. Academic
integrity is assured. From our founding as a Vanderbilt
University Technology Company to today, we focus on your
critical need for best-practice education: time-sensitive,
cost-effective undergraduate, graduate and certificate
programs.

RN to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN-to-BSN)(Online)
The RN to Bachelor of Science degree completion (RN-BSN) program,
based on the Colorado Nursing Articulation Model, is intended for
registered nurses who desire career mobility and professional
development.
Registered nurses with credentials from a hospital school of
nursing or with an associate degree from a community college are
eligible to enroll in American Sentinel's RN-BSN degree
completion program.
The Colorado Articulation Model is a statewide agreement which
permits registered nurses who are graduates of community colleges
and diploma programs to enter the BSN completion option without
taking tests to verify prior knowledge. Students will be awarded
33 semester hours based on their current RN license, allowing
them to take just 30 more credits to complete the program.
RNs who graduated within the last 3 years are eligible to enroll
with no work experience or testing required. RNs enrolling after
more than 3 years from graduation need to have 1000 hours of
nursing work experience or must complete an RN refresher course
before enrolling. The RN-BSN completion program courses are open
for enrollment twice a month.
Upon completion of the RN to BSN program, students will be able
to:
- Integrate methods of research and scholarship in making and
prioritizing diagnoses, and in planning, implementing and
evaluating care of individuals, groups and communities.
- Assess health and incorporate principles and methods of
health promotion and health education in nursing care of
individuals, families, groups and communities.
- Express a fundamental understanding of the problems of
contemporary health and illness.
- Directly provide and manage competent care for individuals,
families and groups who have simple to complex health care needs.
- Integrate professional values and role behaviors.
- Collaborate with other groups in shaping health policies that
affect both individual and community health.
