BSNExpress Overview

BSNExpress Overview

 

Celebrate 10 years of BSNExpress -  June 8, 2013!   Click for more info.

Villanova University's BSNExpress Program is a 14-month program that incorporates all the standard components of the nursing program in a concentrated timeframe. This program -- which is approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing and fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education -- usually begins on the third Monday in May of each year and ends in August of the following year. While the program is intense, students are able to take advantage of some of the same opportunities that are available to other BSN students.

The BSNExpress Program offers:

  • class cohesiveness, which fosters a unique support system and learning community for the students
  • international and multicultural study - a valuable enhancement to the curriculum
  • opportunities for professional membership and involvement
  • faculty who are experts
  • mentors available to the students as they pursue this second degree

A student in this program must be able to devote considerable time to studies due to the intense, concentrated nature of the program. The number of clinical hours and courses are the same as the traditional program. Students are encouraged to submit copies of their college transcripts well in advance of their planned entrance into the program in order to allow for complete evaluation and appropriate advisement regarding prerequisite completion.

My View

"Villanova was my first choice from the start! My greatest fear was coming back to school after being out for so long and more importantly, balancing family and school. The staff and faculty continue to help make this an easy transition and have been EXTREMELY accommodating. The faculty are professional nurses who bring a broad range of experience to the classroom and clinical setting."
