PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
- Why a BSN in Nursing?
- What You'll Learn
- Learn effective leadership and management principles in professional nursing practice, teamwork, and collaboration.
- Use research findings to provide evidence-based nursing care in current and future clinical practices.
- Enhance community health nursing skills and strategies.
- Integrate understanding of multiple levels of patient-centered care.
- Accreditation
By 2020, an estimated 20 percent of the population will be 65 or older and many people will live for a longer time, often with chronic illnesses. To cope with the mounting challenges of an aging population and an increasingly strained health care system, the Institute of Medicine has proposed an increase to BSN nurses from 50 percent to 80 percent by 2020.
In fact, many employers now give preference to or only hire BSN-qualified nurses. In the future, it is expected that the BSN will become a mandatory qualification for nurses. This is why Belmont is committed to helping you get your BSN.
The Baccalaureate, Masters, Post-graduate APRN, and Doctor of Nursing Practice programs at Belmont University as well as the Baccalaureate program of the Belmont University/Trevecca Nazarene University Consortium are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, 655 K Street, NW, Suite 750, Washington DC 20001, (202)887-6791.
