Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing

The 16-month accelerated bachelor of science in nursing degree program is for students with an earned non-nursing baccalaureate degree, who have completed explicit prerequisites, to enter the field of nursing. Through simulated labs and clinical placements, which are key to the curriculum, nursing students learn and practice the methods to deliver safe and efficient patient care firsthand. Working directly under the supervision of seasoned clinical preceptors, these students gain hands-on experiences across all healthcare settings, including areas of practice relating to MedicalSurgical Nursing I and II, Pediatrics, Obstetrics, Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, and CommunityPublic Health Nursing. The curriculum prepares students to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN).

Official secondary school transcript showing subjects and marks received with graduation date. Diplomas and any external examination results should be submitted, if applicable. Students who have not yet graduated from secondary school must submit a transcript showing all completed work, and expected results and graduation date may be submitted for review. Certified word-for-word translations must be submitted with all non-English documents. Candidates with postsecondary coursework from an institution outside the United States who wish to transfer courses must submit to Johnson & Wales University all official documentation and must request (after acceptance) a course-by-course evaluation from World Education Services Inc. (WES), ECE Dispatch, or another recognized credential evaluation service. Note that all non-English documents must be accompanied by certified word-for-word English translations. In certain circumstances we may require course descriptions and/or syllabi (subject details, module descriptors or content outline). Those with coursework in progress must submit final updated official documentation as soon as it becomes available.
