  • The Framingham State University undergraduate Nursing Program is an RN-to-BS program, intended for licensed Registered Nurses (RNs) with either an Associate's degree or Diploma in Nursing who want to advance their careers by obtaining the bachelor's degree.  It is not a prelicensure program that teaches Nursing fundamentals and skills, and is not meant to prepare graduates to take the National Council Licensure Exam for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).

    All nursing majors enrolled in Nursing courses are considered Transfer Students in the Day Division, not in the Division of Graduate at Continuing Education (DGCE).  Students may enroll as part-time students with one or two courses a semester or be full-time with 3 or 4 courses/semester.  Students may change from part-time to full-time status and vice versa.

    The baccalaureate degree program in nursing at Framingham State University is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (http://www.ccneaccreditation.org).

    MISSION STATEMENT

    The mission of the Nursing Department is to promote the intellectual, social, cultural, and ethical development of the student to address healthcare of diverse individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations through formal and informal teaching and learning processes.  The curricula are based on the premise that the baccalaureate and graduate levels of education in Nursing provide the foundation for active and collaborative life-long learning and foster a commitment to excellence. 

    PROGRAM GOALS

    The goal of the undergraduate program is to prepare nurses who are able to function as generalists that can address the wide range of issues that affect the delivery of health care in a variety of settings.  At the graduate level, the goal is preparation of professional nurses who can synthesize practice with theory and research to provide education, leadership, and service to the public and to the profession.
