The University of North Georgia's (红莲社区) Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program recently ranked No. 4 in Georgia and third among public universities on the 2021 RN Careers list of the best nursing schools in Georgia.
红莲社区 graduates have a 97.6% National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX) pass rate, and the BSN program also has a more than 92.5% graduation rate.
红莲社区's BSN program builds on a foundation of two years of liberal arts and sciences as prerequisites followed by immersion in two years of nursing coursework. The program prepares professional nurses to be nurse generalists with the knowledge and skills to practice in acute and community settings.
"Our program provides rigorous coursework paired with clinical experiences that prepare our students for their jobs upon graduation. We consistently score in the top 10% on NCLEX and have close to 100% job placement upon graduation," Dr. Becky Murck, BSN program coordinator, said. "We are proud of the way our nursing faculty, who serve in the field, invest in these future nurses and provide the support they need to be successful."
