Bachelor
of Science in Nursing for RNs -
Weekend College Program
The Weekend
College Nursing program meets the academic needs of the learner
who has nursing experience as well as previous academic preparation
and has earned a diploma or associate degree in nursing. Building
upon the student's basic program, the Alverno nursing curriculum
continues to develop the student's ability to solve problems that
arise in nursing practice, to understand the values and ethics that
underpin her practice, and to communicate effectively with colleagues
and patients.
At the conclusion of her program of studies, the
student demonstrates the following outcomes:
- uses the nursing process within an analytic framework
to meet health/illness needs of individuals, families and groups
- makes value judgments reflecting respect for
the
dignity and individuality of others
- engages in facilitative, supportive, goal-directed
interactions
- collaborates as a member of the health team to
facilitate the adaptive process
- uses adaptation theory in analyzing environmental
influences
- accepts a commitment to fulfill the responsibilities
of a professional practitioner in contemporary society.
Liberal arts and support area (minor) courses are
integral to the program and consistent with Alverno's belief in
the value of liberal education. Students can choose a minor in business
and management, professional communication, integrated arts and
humanities, or computing and information technology.
For admission, a student must be a registered nurse
graduated from a nationally accredited nursing school.
Evidence of knowledge in science areas can be obtained
by transfer credit, CLEP, ACT, NLN exams, or course enrollment.
NLN exams are not transferable and must be taken through the Nursing
Division at Alverno College.

Student Nursing Handbook (pdf format).
