Admissions Changes due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing is offering early admission to its RN to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN-BSN) online program. Recent graduates of an associate degree in nursing (ADN) program within the past four months with a temporary license from their state can apply for admission.
Admitted students must pass the NCLEX prior to graduation, or as required by omnibus legislation related to COVID-19, which allows recent nursing graduates to obtain a temporary license to practie prior to passing the licensure exam. Temporary licenses expire either 90 days after the duration of the COVID-19 emergency or 90 days after Dec. 1, 2020 (depending on which comes first).
For more information, contact Zhané Broomfield, Admissions Counselor, at zhane.broomfield@uc.edu.
