RN to BSN: Three Tracks, One Destination

The program is offered in three tracks: BSN-LINC/National Track (via the Internet for nurses residing outside the state of Wisconsin); BSN@Home (Collaborative) Track (via the Internet for nurses residing in the state of Wisconsin); and Campus Track (face-to-face on campus). Even though courses are delivered through different modalities, the program requirements, outcomes, and curriculum are the same for all three tracks. Community Health Nursing Practicum involves flexible scheduling and is arranged near the student's home. The online Health Assessment course requires a mentor, preferably a Master's prepared Nurse who monitors student skills as they are progressing through the course. Physician Assistants and Physicians may also serve as mentors.

Students must have a current RN license from any state in the U.S. for eligibility. Practicum is arranged in the student’s home state. All courses are available via the Internet.

The Internet-based BSN@Home Track (Collaborative Nursing Program-CNP) for RNs who are Wisconsin residents, is available through the combined resources of the Nursing programs at the UW campuses in Green Bay, Eau Claire, Madison, Milwaukee, and Oshkosh. The BSN is awarded by the home institution, in this case UW-Green Bay. All general education and support courses are offered via the Internet through UW-Green Bay Extended Degree and the UW-Colleges on-line. CNP-Collaborative Track students are welcome to take courses on campus. For more information on the BSN@Home Track please go to: http://www.bsnathome.com/

The Campus Track is designed for RNs who reside within traveling distance of UW Green Bay. Nursing courses are offered in campus classrooms. Courses are “block scheduled,” meeting one day or evening per week. General education and support courses can be completed on-campus, through UW-Green Bay Extended Degree (on-line or independent study/Saturday schedule), through UW-Colleges (on-line or on campus), or through UW Independent Learning correspondence courses.
