RN to BSN- Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work while I am in school?
A majority of our students work full-time.
Do I have to take a full load each semester?
No. You may take a part-time load, but courses are only offered one time per year.
Are any scholarship monies available?
Yes, but generally RNs who are working do not meet the income criteria to qualify for a loan.
----------------------------------------------------------
Are there a lot of papers to write?
Yes. All must be done in APA style, so it is very important that you become familiar with this or find a typist who is well-versed in the form.

Will I need to spend much on-campus library time?
The Rowland Library is very up-to-date and provides the students with a multiplicity of resources to use in meeting class objectives. It would be to your advantage to plan for some library time.
How do I communicate with instructors?
Either by telephone, E-mail or over on-line course Blackboard sites.
