Program Information
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (LPN-BSN)
In South College’s LPN-BSN program, you’ll build on your knowledge and skills as an LPN to further develop a strong academic and clinical foundation for becoming a nurse generalist.
With classroom, laboratory, and hands-on clinical training from our experienced instructors, you’ll work to prepare for an expanded role in a healthcare team to provide collaborative, interdisciplinary care that improves patient outcomes. You’ll also learn best practices for delegating tasks, supervising patient care, and evaluating personnel within a team setting. In your upper division nursing courses, you’ll undertake a rigorous schedule with approximately 20 hours of in-class time per week, along with reading, analysis, and other work outside of the classroom.
Courses explore mental health, pediatric, adult health, maternal infant, and community health nursing, as well as topics like nursing management and nursing research. By the time you earn your BSN, you’ll have worked to develop the skills and technical competence needed and be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN exam.
