R.N. Dean, College of Nursing Welcome to the College of Nursing at Valdosta State University. I hope you find your visit here helpful and informative. We also offer a preference pathway for R.N.s who desire to earn both the B.S.N. and M.S.N. The B.S.N. program prepares graduates to take the licensure examination to become a Registered Nurse. The B.S.N. program is planned as a four-year program with 120 credits of study. Our program is approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing.
Many people are confused about the multiple ways to enter practice as a nurse.
Please visit their web site for information about nursing as a career. You will find a link to our currently approved curriculum on the home page but we strongly encourage you to consult with one of our advisors to get the most accurate information. This is particularly true for anyone who is considering a transfer into our program. Admission into our program is a two step process. First, you are admitted to Valdosta State University and then, after you have successfully completed the core requirements, you apply to nursing.
