This program is designed for RN’s who obtained their basic
nursing education in a diploma or associate degree program.
The program prepares nurses for additional growth in the profession,
as well as for future graduate study. Escrow credit (44 semester
hours) is awarded for the RN’s previous education after
satisfactory completion of the first three nursing courses.
In addition to the eight nursing courses (30 semester hours)
required, the student completes the University’s general
Education Requirements and any prerequisite course deficiencies.
Thus, students are individually accepted and may begin at any
term of the year depending on their transfer credits on the
prerequisite courses and the nursing courses being offered during
that term. The nursing courses are taught on a Tuesday-Thursday
later afternoon-evening time frame in an effort to coordinate
with the RN’s employment schedule.
Through a collaborative partnership with Cuyahoga Community
College, this program will be offered to Cleveland area RNs
by interactive distant learning modalities beginning Fall,
2004.
Admission into the RN Track of the nursing program depends
on the following criteria:
1. Must first apply and be admitted to the
University. For deadlines on University admissions, contact
the Admissions Office. Request previous college transcripts
to be sent to YSU, including School of Nursing transcripts,
if different. (Previous YSU transcripts do not have to be
requested.)
2. Must be a registered nurse with a current
license to practice in the State of Ohio or a graduate from
an approved nursing program and eligible for licensure as
a registered nurse in Ohio.
3. Completion of the pre-requisite course
with a “C” or better and an overall GPA in those
courses of 2.5 or greater.
4. CPR Certification for Health Care Professionals.
5. Completion of Nursing Department application
form.
6. Upon admission, must satisfactorily complete
physical and immunization requirement.
Continued progression in the program depends upon the student’s
achievement and compliance of the Admission, Progression,
and Graduate Policies of the Department of Nursing and the
Candidacy for a Degree requirements listed in the YSU Undergraduate
Bulletin.
