Felician College - visit website

By arrangement with Felician College (Lodi, NJ), nurses can earn their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree on-site at Mercer County Community College. Beginning in January 2008, Felician offers a fast-track RN to BSN program enabling registered nurses to earn their BSN in only 19 months by attending class just one day a week. The 60-credit program consists of 30 credits of nursing courses and 30 credits of liberal arts and science courses.

The program is designed for students who are licensed RNs, have earned their associate degree in nursing or a nursing diploma, and have at least 30 liberal arts credits. This program is open to MCCC's Nursing program associate degree graduates as well as those of MCCC's cooperative partner institutions: Capitol Health Systems and St. Francis Medical Center. It is also open to nursing graduates of other community colleges, nursing diploma schools, and any registered nurse in the local community.

The RN to BSN fast-track program is specifically designed for the working nurse, and prepares registered nurses for leadership roles in client care and management. The four-year BSN degree is often a requirement for advancement in today's job market.

Because the Felician program requires applicants to hold an RN license in New Jersey, students who hold a license from another state must apply to the New Jersey State Board of Nursing for endorsement prior to admission. Felician College offers scholarships to qualified students.
