RN-MSN Option

The student may return to the traditional RN-BSN track at any point and finish the traditional RN-BSN requirements using all credits earned from the graduate level coursework. If the student decides to continue with the three graduate courses, they must also register for and take NURS 450: Professional Capstone. Upon successful completion of the capstone course, these students will apply for graduation and receive their BSN degree. At this point they may choose to continue their graduate education at Walsh with three courses on their transcript or they may choose to attend another graduate program and transfer the credit for these three courses.

Our graduate nursing degrees build on your experience and open the door to new nursing possibilities.
