Call-out text:
Programs and activities originally designed for NCIN scholars were so successful that faculty members expanded and made them available to all students in the Second-Degree Accelerated Nursing program.
An accelerated B.S.N. program designed especially for the individual holding a bachelor's degree in another field.
Long text (Legacy Book):
NCIN supports the commitment of the college’s parent company, Trinity Health, to diversify the nursing workforce. The college created an Individual Leadership Nursing Seminar using the NCIN Leadership Toolkit as a guide, and all NCIN scholars completed the seminar. Understanding that building leadership skills is a process, the Second-Degree Accelerated pro- gram (SDAP) faculty voted to incorporate leadership learning opportunities into all core nursing classes. Program officials met the objectives of NCIN’s mentoring program. They also created a committee to identify candidates for NCIN scholarships. As a result of this work, faculty affiliated with the school’s SDAP sought resources that allowed all SDAP students to participate in activities that were originally intended only for the NCIN scholars.
Second Degree Accelerated Program:
An accelerated program that allows students who have already earned at least a bachelor’s degree in another major to pursue a career in nursing. This rigorous, full-time program offers the same curriculum of the traditional B.S.N. program, but in a compressed time frame. Upon completion of the program, graduates are prepared to take the NCLEX-RN to receive nursing licensure.
Baccalaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution with a cumulative minimum 3.0 GPA; Submission of official transcripts; Completion of prerequisite coursework; Completed application with a typed essay, and activities resume; Sufficient TOEFL scores (550 paper based) for international students; Personal interview.
