The accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program allows you to complete your degree in three years instead of four and is offered in-person or hybrid. The hybrid program, which is the perfect option if you want a faster path to entering the healthcare field, is made possible by a grant from West Virginia’s Nursing Workforce Expansion Program.
The Hybrid Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at Davis & Elkins 91¿ì²¥ is designed for non-traditional students seeking a flexible path into the nursing profession, including working adults pursuing a career change, CNAs ready to advance, single parents balancing busy schedules, and transfer students looking for a supportive place to continue their education.
This program blends the convenience of online learning with the essential hands-on experience required in nursing. Approximately 65% of nursing coursework is delivered online, allowing students to complete lectures and assignments on their own schedule. The remaining 35% takes place in person through clinical experiences, labs, and simulation training at the SIM Center and local healthcare facilities.
Through D&E’s partnership with Vandalia Health Davis Medical Center, you gain access to state-of-the-art facilities and dynamic, hands-on clinical learning from day one. You’ll also benefit from small class sizes, faculty who know you by name, and clinical partnerships that connect classroom learning to real-world practice.
The curriculum is organized around the QSEN Competencies (Quality and Safety Education for Nurses), ensuring you develop the skills needed to provide safe, patient-centered, evidence-based, collaborative, and technology-informed care.
The BSN program holds dual accreditation from the NLN Commission on Nursing Education Accreditation (NLN-CNEA) and the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN), ensuring you will meet the highest standards in the profession.
