Bachelor of Science in Nursing Overview


If you’re looking for a meaningful way to make a living while helping others, and you like an active job where you meet all sorts of people, nursing can be a rewarding career. With a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN), you’ll learn modern nursing skills and get training in techniques that can help you succeed in this vital field.

The BSN program at the School of Nursing and Health Sciences (SNHS) at Alliant International University offers two of the fastest paths in the state of Arizona to earning your BSN degree; one if you have no college credits and another if you have completed your general education requirements:

  • If you have no previous college credits, your nursing program will take eight trimesters over two years and nine months. 
  • If you’ve fulfilled your general education requirements, your nursing program will be taught over six trimesters and will take two years to complete. 

Both programs are taught on campus in Arizona and offer general education and non-clinical course online. The BSN will provide you with the education and experience needed to prepare you to sit for the NCLEX exam to earn a license as a registered nurse (RN).

Degree Information


Nurses are team players, so in the program, you’ll have the opportunity to practice with other healthcare professionals. The BSN degree program takes advantage of the latest technologies in patient care to prepare you for the job. When you begin your program, you’ll receive an iPad Air pre-loaded with a widely-used nursing app, much like what you will use as a nurse in the field. The iPad Air is loaded with all the textbooks and other study materials you’ll need to complete the program, much of which can go with you as you transition into a professional role.

So that you fully understand the concepts and skills taught throughout your program, rather than extensive memorization, you’ll learn to think critically and use clinical reasoning on the job. As a nurse, you’ll also learn to collaborate with professionals in other nursing careers and healthcare providers to ensure the best possible patient outcomes.

 

Accreditation

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Alliant International School of Nursing & Health Sciences is pursuing initial accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (https://www.ccneaccreditation.org). Applying for accreditation does not guarantee that accreditation will be granted. 

 

Student Learning Outcomes

As a graduate of the BSN program, you’ll be trained to: 

  • Apply concepts from nursing and other disciplines to form the foundation of professional nursing practice to provide care for individuals, families, populations, and systems. 
  • Utilize sound clinical judgment to provide person-centered care that promotes health, prevents disease, and coordinates care. 
  • Demonstrate principles of cultural sensitivity and inclusivity to promote patient safety and quality in collaboration with the interprofessional team. 
  • Examine current evidence and innovative technologies to foster new knowledge and strengthen clinical judgment. 
  • Interpret the impact of social, political, economic, and technological trends on nursing practice to provide high-quality, cost-effective care. 
  • Apply professional values, legal requirements, and ethical principles to foster professional growth through a spirit of inquiry.
