Bachelor of Science in Nursing

 

OWC is seeking national accreditation for its new Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program through the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).  This accreditation process, which is an essential part of building a quality program, includes a site visit from a group of nurse educators selected by CCNE.  The visiting team is interested in your views about the OWC baccalaureate nursing program and invites you to send comments to the CCNE at One Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 530, Washington, DC 20036 or www.aacn.nche.edu; or by phone:  202-887-6791 or fax:  202-887-8476.  Written and signed  comments will be accepted by CCNE until September 6, 2008.

Northwest Florida State College has been granted approval by the Florida Department of Education to offer the RN to BSN Program.  NWF State College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges  Schools to offer the RN to BSN Program. Students completing this new baccalaureate program will be able to finish all upper division course work through the college and receive the RN to BSN degree from OWC. We anticipate an inaugural BSN class beginning enrollment in August 2008. We are seeking national nursing accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). For further information regarding the CCNE, see www.aacn.nche.edu/accreditation/.
