*A current unencumbered registered nurse licensure is required to complete clinical practicum coursework. Note: (If a student plans to relocate out of the state or commonwealth of practice, while enrolled in the program, the student must immediately inform the RN-BSN Program Director, to discuss the impact on completion of clinical coursework).
