Nursing (BSN)123 credits required for graduation The School of Health Sciences offers a Bachelor of Science of Nursing (B.S.N.) degree. Clinical CoursesSeveral courses in the Nursing Program include both a class and clinical components. The clinical and class components complement each other as integrated elements of a course that facilitate the accomplishment of Course Outcome Goals. Students must pass both the clinical and class. If a student is unsuccessful either the class or the clinical component, he/she will receive a fail grade and must repeat both components of the class. AccreditationThe nursing baccalaureate program in the School of Health Sciences has provisional approval by the Georgia Board of Nursing and will seek national accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. CurriculumGeneral Education Requirements (60 hours)The primary objective of the general education requirements is to guarantee that all students seeking a degree will be exposed to a common set of learning experiences that draw from a broad spectrum of subject areas. These common learning experiences are designed so that a student who completes the general education requirements will achieve the general education program goals as well as take the core set of sciences which are prerequisites to the courses in the program of study curriculum. Additional Requirements (3 hours)The physical education requirement is comprised of one credit hour of Wellness and two credit hours of additional Physical Education courses. Legislative RequirementsGeorgia law requires that each candidate for a degree demonstrate knowledge of the history and constitution of the United States and Georgia. These requirements may be met by receiving a passing grade in certain courses, or by passing the appropriate examination. The courses and the requirement(s) each course satisfies are as follows:
Nursing Program Admission Requirements & ProceduresThe Nursing Program at GGC requires eligible students to have completed areas A-F from the Nursing Program of Study (PDF) prior to the first semester of being enrolled in the first nursing courses. Note ITEC 1001 , Introduction to Computing and PE, Physical Education may be taken after enrollment in the nursing program prior to graduation. A student applying to the Nursing program for Fall semester may not be enrolled in any science courses during the preceding summer semester.
The following criteria will need to be completed before seeking admission to the baccalaureate nursing program:
Major Requirements (60 hours)The 60 credit nursing curriculum, offered over four semesters, has 16 courses which include four integrated Wellness/Illness courses/ health assessment, research, integrated pathophysiology and pharmacology, three professional nursing courses, two public health courses, two leadership courses, a capstone, and a four credit elective. The number of professional and leadership courses reflects a commitment to core-values espoused by the faculty, and particularly, by the local health care community, and will create a medium for connecting program concepts. The health assessment, research, and integrated pathophysiology and pharmacology courses have strong bases in the sciences and liberal arts which create a solid foundation for nursing knowledge. Course credits are evenly distributed across four semesters with no current plans to offer clinical courses in the summer. By not offering clinical courses in the summer students will have the opportunity to pursue nurse extern positions proposed by surrounding health care facilities. Externship serve to augment learning and will produce a more marketable, valued, and well-rounded nursing graduate. Healthcare partners have indicated that externships help prepare graduates for employment. Program Out GoalsBachelor of Science - NursingThe School of Health Sciences Nursing Program Outcomes are congruent with the mission and philosophy of the nursing program, with role expectations for professional nursing as defined by the American Nurses Association, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Baccalaureate Essentials, and Quality and Safety Education, and the needs of our community stakeholders.
