Immunizations, criminal background check, and a copy of Professional Liability Insurance (Professional Liability Insurance is a part of student fees) as required by the institution in which the student is utilizing as a practicum.

A name badge which identifies the student as a RN-BSN student at Kentucky State University.

RN-BSN students pay the same general fees and tuition as do other students at the University. Students in the RN-BSN program, however, incur additional expenses for name badge, liability insurance, and travel fees.

Variance to University Policy on Credit Hours

Since the RN-BSN completion program is a transfer (second-degree) program, RN-BSN students are not required to complete the requisite 45 credit hours of upper-division courses. All RN-BSN students must complete at least 35 credit hours of upper-division nursing courses.

ADN Graduates with a Baccalaureate or a Graduate Degree Outside of Nursing

ADN applicants for the RN-BSN Completion program, who have a Bachelor's/Master's degree outside nursing from a regionally accredited institution, are required to complete only the 35 hours of upper division nursing courses and a 200 level IGS course. This allows the student to meet the residency requirements for graduation as stipulated in the Catalogue. The Rising Junior is not required.
