The Nursing Programs of Ramapo College of New Jersey are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), 3343 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 850, Atlanta, GA 30326.<\/p>\n<h4>Program Outcomes:<\/h4>\n<p>Upon graduation from this program, graduates will:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Knowledge<\/strong>: Apply Knowledge synthesized from nursing science, basic sciences, and humanities to support global nursing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evidence based research and practice:<\/strong> apply best practice standards in the delivery of care to diverse populations across the health are continuum.<br \/>\nInitiate inquiry to address system-wide healthcare issues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information Management<\/strong>: Use information and communication technologies to enter, retrieve, and evaluate data\u00a0 appropriate for the delivery of evidence based care to \u00a0culturally diverse populations<\/p>\n<p><strong>Professionalism<\/strong>: Model principles of professional accountability when assuming a leadership role within the healthcare community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Social Advocacy<\/strong>: Assume a leadership role in advocacy of care for a diverse global population while recognizing the impact of social, policy and regulatory environments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leadership: <\/strong>Demonstrate leadership in the delivery of culturally competent health care to world populations<\/p>\n<p><strong>Role Function:\u00a0 <\/strong>Communicates and collaborates with health care professionals for the delivery of quality, safe patient care.<br \/>\nIncorporate the principles of health promotion and disease prevention in the delivery of culturally diverse care to global populations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Generic BSN curriculum <\/strong>&#8211; The generic curriculum is designed so that students complete all general education and science requirements in the first two years of the major. Upon satisfactory completion of all general education and science courses, students enter the nursing sequence which is two years in length. Upon graduation from the program, students are eligible to take the NCLEX exam for licensure as a registered nurse. The generic program offers two unique clinical partnerships which greatly enhance the clinical education of the BSN students.<\/p>\n<p>Clinical experiences are held at local Magnet Hospitals. These hospitals such as The Valley Hospital are recognized by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) as Centers of Excellence in nursing. Students are expected to supply their own transportation to the clinical sites. Transfer and second degree students are admitted to the major upon completion of the prerequisite courses and 64 college credits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RN\/BSN curriculum <\/strong>&#8211; The BSN program admits registered nurses, with either an associates degree or diploma in nursing. These students transfer in credits from their initial nursing program, and complete the general education and nursing requirements at Ramapo. \u00a0Graduates of diploma programs in nursing are granted 30 credits for their diploma nursing courses upon satisfactory completion of their first two BSN nursing courses. The majority of the nursing courses for the RN are heavily on-line, with clinical experiences at nearby facilities. \u00a0Students have the option of entering the BSN program with the intent to progress to the MSN program at Ramapo College.<\/p>\n<div class=\"divider\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/rcnjrd\/images\/icons\/ramapo-arch-icom_rule.png\" alt=\"Ramapo\" \/><\/div>\n<h4>Admission Requirements for the Joint BSN Program:<\/h4>\n<p><strong>B.S.N.
