Ohio’s public universities that award a Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree provide opportunities for Associate Degree Nursing graduates to complete requirements for a baccalaureate degree through RN to BSN Programs. These programs allow students to achieve the same terminal objectives as the university’s native BSN student by requiring prerequisite and transition courses. Ohio’s BSN degree granting universities participate in The Ohio Nursing Articulation Model, which provides guidance to enable optimal educational mobility for nurses in Ohio.
