RN-BSN Completion Program (BSN)
RN-BSN Completion Program
Miami offers a flexible program, allowing the RN student from all types of programs to work around family and professional responsibilities.
Students proceed at their own pace, full or part-time.
The 12 required nursing courses are available online or in hybrid format (classroom meetings with additional online learning activities, usually done in sprints of 7-8 weeks).
Two of these 12 courses are clinical courses, arranged by faculty with preceptors at health care facilities.
Clinical days and schedules are arranged by students and preceptors.
The hybrid courses are offered at two locations: VOA Learning Center in West Chester, or Greentree Health Sciences Building on the Atrium Medical Center campus in Middletown. Two RN-BSN nursing courses are being offered on one night a week, including summers until all 12 are completed: Mondays at VOA, Wednesdays at Greentree.
There are approximately 8-10 other liberal education courses required for the BSN, depending on what courses students have taken before, and they are offered at Miami Middletown and Hamilton, and some at VOA. (See curriculum sheet below.) Many of these courses are offered one evening per week. The two required science courses, MBI 361 and ZOO 325, will also be offered at the Greentree site. Only selected liberal education courses are offered online.
