CCNE Accreditation Demonstrates Strayer’s
Commitment to Advancing Nursing Careers
Strayer University today announced the accreditation of its
online Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelors of Science in Nursing
(BSN) Program. The program, accredited by the Commission on
Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), http://www.aacn.nche.edu/,
helps working nurses achieve their BSN and stay competitive in the
evolving healthcare industry.
“Healthcare is changing rapidly, driven by the increased use of
technology and an aging population with complex chronic
conditions,” said Brian Jones, President of Strayer University.
“Students want to develop their skills and increase earning
potential, while healthcare human resource managers are looking for
nurses that are better prepared for team-based, data-driven,
coordinated care.”
The Strayer RN to BSN program emphasizes interdisciplinary
collaboration, safety and quality improvement, informatics,
evidence-based practice, ethics and leadership, data management,
community health, and clinical reasoning and intuition. Learning
outcomes of the program include applying knowledge of healthcare
policy and regulatory requirements to effectively function in
today’s healthcare environment, as well as providing equitable,
culturally-competent care to all patients.
“Only about half of today’s registered nurses hold a BSN
degree,” said Hannah Hughes, Vice Provost and Dean of Strayer
University’s School of Nursing. “The Institute of Medicine
recommends that by 2020, that number should reach 80 percent. The
power of Strayer’s online RN to BSN program is that it enables
working students to broaden their perspective on patient care
delivery and the overall healthcare system, which creates a strong
foundation for career advancement. I personally know the impact
that educational advancement can have and am excited to support our
students in achieving their personal and professional goals.”
All new BSN students must hold an active, unencumbered RN
license, which earns a minimum of 45 credits toward their
180-credit BSN. Students can also receive up to 90 additional
transfer credits for previous coursework and degrees. Ten courses
must be taken through Strayer University and can be completed in as
little as 12 months (4 quarters)*. The Strayer nursing team works
with all students to determine a course schedule that is right for
them.
The program’s entire faculty and staff are nurses who understand
the importance of flexibility for working adult students. Strayer’s
program accounts for these demands.
