246 Second: This option to the RN-to-BSN Program provides access to WSU AS/AAS Nursing graduates who are not previously declared a 2+2 BSN student, but desire immediate progress to the RN-to-BSN Program level. These students may request uninterrupted progression during the final semester of their AS/AAS Program of study. However, uninterrupted program progression is contingent upon the student meeting RN-to-BSN admission criteria upon completion of the PN-to-RN or AS/AAS nursing programs & passing score on RN-NCLEX predictor exam. Additionally, in order to progress beyond the 1st semester of the RN-to-BSN curriculum, the 2+2 BSN student must successfully pass the RN-NCLEX exam. Failure to do so will result in an academic leave-of-absence until successful completion of the RN-NCLEX exam can be documented. Uninterrupted program progression can not be guaranteed for non-2+2 BSN declared AS/AAS graduates. Program space availability may be limited. Third: This option is designed for licensed RN graduates from other AS/AAS or Diploma programs, or WSU AS/AAS nursing program graduates who have been out of school for an unspecified period of time. Statewide Program Cooperative, contractual, and outreach campuses bring the WSU nursing program to all sectors of the State. Cooperative Campus: AS or AAS options are offered at Utah State University in Logan. Contractual Campus: A PN to AS or AAS Program is offered in affiliation with the Davis Applied Technology College in Kaysville. Outreach Campuses: Developed in response to rural needs, PN to AS/AAS and RN to BSN options are offered through outreach education. Dependent upon local needs and available funding, outreach programs are offered at various campuses throughout the state for specified time periods. Campus locations and entry level offerings vary from year to year. Licensure Applicants who have been convicted of a felony, treated for serious mental illness or substance abuse should discuss their eligibility status with the Utah Board of Nursing. Acceptance to the nursing program does not assure eligibility for a PN or RN license. The Utah Board of Nursing makes final decisions on issuance of professional licensure.
