What students are saying...

"Your program enabled me to continue working at my present profession as a nurse, and to pursue my education as well. I would recommend CCHS to anyone who wishes to further their education."

— Kim Hertel, RN, MSN, MS

 
         
 
 

Graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing will demonstrate:

•  General knowledge of science, social science, and language arts expected of someone who has earned a degree

•  Functional knowledge and understanding of advanced nursing and health care theories and practice

•  Active participation in nursing as professionals in the field

 
     
 

Individuals who desire career mobility and movement into higher levels of management in the health care field will benefit from achievement of a bachelor's degree. Clinical managers in health care are generally expected or encouraged to achieve the advanced knowledge and skills offered through a bachelor's level program. The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook 2006-07 notes that advancement opportunities are generally broader for registered nurses with a bachelor's degree. In fact, some career paths are open only to nurses with a bachelor's degree or above. Employment in this field is growing faster than the average, and is expected to continue to grow. Median annual earnings for registered nurses in May 2004 were $52,330.
