Admission: RN-BSN Completion Program

The RN student must have a current, unencumbered state license.* No nursing proficiency or placement exams are required for admission. Through RN licensure and prior academic credit, applicants may have earned credit [42 semester credit hours in nursing and 48 semester credit hours in general education] transferred in toward the BSN degree.

Priority consideration is given to applicants from ACEN (formerly NLNAC) accredited pre-licensure nursing programs. MCCN will evaluate applicant packages and may consider admission for those from non-ACEN (formerly NLNAC) accredited pre-licensure nursing programs on an individual basis.

Applicants to the Online RN-BSN Completion Program must submit the following documents. 

1. A completed Application for Admission (link to the online application).

2. Official transcripts for all post-secondary academic work. Transcripts must be submitted directly to Mount Carmel College of Nursing, Online RN-BSN Admissions.

3. A current and unencumbered RN license.

PLEASE NOTE: To apply for the Online RN-BSN Program you must be a licensed Registered Nurse (RN).* The program is designed for licensed RNs who want to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).

*Students participating in the program through dual enrollment or applying as new graduate nurses awaiting licensure may join under provisional admission. They can enroll in general education courses and up to 9 credits of nursing coursework. Program completion requires maintaining an active, unencumbered license.
