Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Overview

Career outlook

Employers hire BSN-prepared registered nurses for direct patient care as well as roles requiring expanded leadership, research, and community-health competencies across nearly every healthcare setting.

Getting in

What Chamberlain University-North Carolina asks for, taken from its own admissions page.

Pre-licensure BSN applicants submit the application, transcripts from prior institutions, and HESI A2 scores (valid HESI A2, TEAS, ACT or SAT results from the last five years are accepted; otherwise the HESI A2 is scheduled with Chamberlain), plus a drug screen and background and fingerprint check. No application fee and no prerequisite courses to start; six session starts per year, 122 credit hours, finish in as few as 3 years; the Charlotte campus is one of the 25+ BSN campuses. Admission uses a weighted evaluation of coursework and test scores (no minimum GPA published).
