Be More With A BSN Degree!
Barton's RN-BSN program prepares students to be collaborative members of multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
About the RN-BSN Program
Barton College, in partnership with the North Carolina Community Colleges, offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in which students can transfer seamlessly to Barton College to complete their degree upon receiving an Associate's Degree in Nursing (ADN). The baccalaureate program is approved by the North Carolina Board of Nursing and is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The professional nursing courses in this program prepare graduates to function in present and emerging roles as collaborative members of multidisciplinary health care teams. The liberal arts, biological, physical, and social science courses taken prior to entry to the nursing courses provide a sound basis for scientific, humanistic nursing. The faculty of the School of Nursing are committed to assisting students in achieving their educational goals.
