USF Sarasota-Manatee - College of Nursing

The USF College of Nursing offers the Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science nursing program, and 6 core courses for the Graduate Degree in Nursing on the Sarasota-Manatee campus. Our RN-BS courses are in a reduced-seat-time format that includes both Web-based and live classes. This unique combination provides flexibility for the learner as well as student-faculty and student-student interaction. This bachelor degree completion program, available in its entirety on the Sarasota-Manatee campus, builds on the associate degree coursework and provides a more in-depth treatment of pharmacology; physical assessment; nursing research and evidence-based practice; public and community health; nursing management; and humanities.

The Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science is specifically for RNs who want to climb the career ladder and advance their professional opportunities. Eligible students must hold a current Florida RN license and either an associate of science in nursing degree from a regionally accredited institution or a diploma in nursing from an approved post-secondary institution.

Additionally, 1-2 core courses for the Graduate Degree in Nursing are available in a live video-conference format, which rotate each semester. Look for sections 560 or 561 to register for nursing classes on the Sarasota-Manatee campus.

The RN to Master of Science option: This program is designed for RNs with an associate of science degree who wish to apply for early enrollment in the nursing master’s program. Students take 18 credits of undergraduate nursing courses before applying for the M.S. program. The master’s program is composed of 33-50 credit hours depending on the area of specialization and is usually completed within 2 -5 years. Master’s coursework requires travel to the USF Tampa campus or Web-based courses.
