Do you have a bachelor's degree?
Do you want to make a difference?
Does working in the health care field appeal to you?
BEACON may be the answer for you!
The Wright State University-Miami Valley College of Nursing and
Health has developed a new pathway in the BSN program to help
address the shortage of nurses prepared at the baccalaureate level
and the need to increase diversity in the nursing profession. We are
offering an accelerated BSN program for individuals who already
have a prior baccalaureate degree in a field other than nursing who
want to enter the nursing workforce.
BEACON, an acronym for Baccalaureate Education Accelerates Career Opportunities in Nursing, is a post-baccalaureate entry into
practice program. We are partnering with Ohio's two Historically
Black Colleges and Universities and others to promote multicultural
diversity in nursing. All qualified university graduates are
encouraged to contact us for more information.
This 15 month program will lead to a BSN (Bachelor of Science Degree
in Nursing). Students will take both undergraduate and graduate
level courses so that upon completion of the BEACON BSN program,
they will have a head start on earning a Master of Science degree in
Nursing. Upon successful completion of this program, graduates are
eligible to take the NCLEX-RN, the national licensing examination
for professional nurses. Once licensed, graduates will be eligible
for entry into practice or direct entry into selected concentrations
in the Master of Science degree program in Nursing. It is hoped that
BEACON graduates will serve as beacons for improving health among
underserved populations as well as become leaders in the health care
professions.
