About

The BSN program prepares students for initial licensure as registered nurses and entry into professional practice. Graduates provide care throughout the lifespan; design, manage, and coordinate care across environments. In addition to providing care to those who are ill, graduates are involved in health promotion and clinical prevention, and population based healthcare. As the first professional degree in nursing, the BSN also provides foundational knowledge for advanced studies at the master's or doctoral level. The BSN program also provides a means for registered nurses who have graduated from an accredited associate degree or diploma nursing program to obtain knowledge and skills for professional nursing practice at the bachelor degree level.

Upon completion of the BSN Program, the graduate will be able to:

Engage in clinical reasoning to make decisions regarding patient care.
Deliver safe, evidenced-based, compassionate, holistic patient and family-centered care across the health and illness continuum.
Advocate for individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations.
Implement population-focused wellness promotion and illness prevention strategies that consider determinants of health and available resources.
Use effective communication and collaborative skills for professional practice.
Demonstrate accountability for personal and professional standards of moral, ethical, and legal conduct.
Evaluate quality improvement processes to optimize safe healthcare outcomes for individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations.
Employ leadership principles to improve patient outcomes across healthcare systems.
Exhibit a commitment to continuous self-evaluation and lifelong learning.

Entry Requirements

Each college is responsible for developing program-specific, admission requirements, including prerequisite course and other requirements. It is the responsibility of the Office of Admissions to administer the admission requirements developed by individual UTHSC colleges and programs. General admission requirements for all UTHSC colleges include:

Previously earned grades of "D" or below in prerequisite courses are not accepted as fulfilling admission standards.
One or two-semester hour courses in physical education, seminar, music, military science, remedial and developmental, research, and non-theory courses are not counted toward total credit hours earned and are not used in computing the overall, UTHSC Common Grade Point Average (CGPA).
All required prerequisite courses in science must include a lab concurrent with the science courses to fulfill the course requirement.
Correspondence coursework must be approved by appropriate college administrators and the UTHSC Director of Admissions to before inclusion.
Advanced Placement credit, CLEP, or other non-traditional credit in required science prerequisite courses awarded by the applicant's regionally-accredited college may be honored for fulfilling prerequisite course requirements provided that the applicant has successfully completed an equal number of semester hours in the same discipline in a traditional classroom setting.

Note: Some UTHSC colleges and programs do not accept CLEP credit in required science prerequisite coursework. Coursework credit awarded via General CLEP tests is not accepted by the UTHSC. One credit unit in high school or six semester hours of college-level credit in American history must be completed prior to the beginning of the second term of a student's baccalaureate program at UTHSC.
