You need a current RN license without restrictions to apply for the nursing completion (BSN-C) program.
If you are waiting to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX), you may receive special permission to start the BSN-C program during your last semester of your associates program. Contact our program coordinator.
First, apply to Missouri State University. Then, apply to the BSN-C program.
Apply as a transfer student, declaring the BSN-completion program as your major.
When you declare, you’re listed as a pre-major until you satisfy all admission requirements. Once you’re accepted to Missouri State University, you may apply to the BSN-completion program.
After being accepted to Missouri State University, submit a request to be admitted to the BSN-C program.
Contact us at KathyAdams@missouristate.edu to make an appointment. You’ll receive guidance about the program and your class schedule.
You cannot register for classes without an advisor’s release.
Your nursing courses are taught in eight-week blocks. You can start in the spring, fall or summer.
NRS 443 and NRS 482 each have a 24-hour practicum component that you can complete at your current workplace or elsewhere in your community.
You can register for classes through My Missouri State.
