Grand Canyon University (College of Nursing)
Welcome to the College of Nursing at Grand Canyon University. The College of Nursing offers a wide range of professional nurse education programs that are anchored in strong Judeo- Christian values and ethical principles. These programs include:
* A traditional baccalaureate (BSN) level professional registered nurse (RN) program, aimed at new students interested in becoming a nurse;
* An accelerated baccalaureate level professional registered nurse program, tailored for students with an existing baccalaureate degree in another subject or 90 + credit hours of college coursework;
* A RN to BSN program, targeted toward registered nurses who have completed an associate degree or diploma program in professional nursing;
* The Master of Science - Nursing (MS) program focuses on preparing nurses for an advanced professional role of family nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, nursing leader, or nurse educator.
* All programs are offered on ground. In addition RN/B program is also offered online and all Master's program tracks are web enhanced. Coursework is customized for both young and adult learners as well as those with basic and advanced computer skills.
More than two decades after its founding, the College of Nursing continues to educate nurses through rigorous academic and clinical preparation in a tradition of values-based Christian education. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree is offered through three tracks: pre licensure, accelerated, and degree completion for nurses already licensed as registered nurses. Building on the baccalaureate degree, the College offers the Master of Science – Nursing (MS) featuring four concentrations: Family Nurse Practitioner, Nursing Leadership in the Health Care System, Clinical Nurse Specialist, and Nursing Education. The pre-licensure curriculums designed to help students assess the individual, the family, and communities; utilize functional health patterns within a variety of clinical settings; formulate nursing diagnoses; plan and evaluate nursing interventions; and function as professionals within the health care team. The accelerated BSN track allows second degree students or students with senior standing (90+ credit hours) who have fulfilled all prerequisites to complete a degree in approximately 18 months. In addition to the traditional baccalaureate nursing program, the College of Nursing offers a track for registered nurses wanting to complete their bachelor’s degree. The RN to BSN track is offered over a 57-week time frame in which the student attends class one night per week. The MS program is offered using an innovative, web-enhanced format on a full-time or part-time schedule with the busy professional nurse in mind. The graduate core provides content essential to all advanced professional nurses, while the specialty areas expands and extends this knowledge and offers the opportunity for students to develop skills in evidence-based practice.
