What you'll need
- Transcripts
CSN offers only an RN to BSN completion program (120 credits, online, open entry), not a pre-licensure BSN. Admittance requires an Associate Degree in Nursing from an accredited program, an unencumbered Nevada RN license, and 1-6 credits of U.S. and Nevada Constitutions. Pre-licensure nursing at CSN is the AAS (limited entry, $20 application fee per program).
