OHSU

RN to BS

The Baccalaureate Completion Program for RNs ("RNBS" for short) offers the OCNE curriculum as online courses to two types of RN students:

  • Associate Degree graduates of OCNE community colleges (also called "CC Transition" students) complete the 33 credits of senior level courses from the OCNE curriculum.  See Programs of Study for OCNE Associate Degree Graduates.
  • Associate Degree or Diploma graduates of non-OCNE schools (also called "Traditional" students) complete 12 credits of "transition" courses and then the 33 credits of senior level courses.  See Programs of Study for Traditional RNBS Students.

All students in the RNBS program must have an RN license.  Courses are offered online and through one or two-day intensives.  Practicum courses take place in the student's home community.  Students can do the program part-time or full-time, depending on what works best with their life and work situation.
