According to our philosophy of undergraduate education, the Bachelor
of Science in Nursing is a professional program that builds on a foundation of knowledge
in science, humanities and related professional disciplines. BSN graduates are prepared as
general clinical practitioners, and are eligible to sit for the
National Council Licensure Examination for
Registered Nurses (NCLEX) in order to obtain Washington State RN licensure.
BSN coursework emphasizes critical thinking, health and human functioning, care and therapeutics,
person/environment fit and health care resources. Clinical experiences occur in a wide variety of
hospital and community settings serving diverse populations; role development, decision making, health
status evaluation, and scholarship are emphasized. The BSN program is highly competitive, and
demands rigorous academics combined with experiential learning.
The University of Washington Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is fully accredited by the
Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE)
through 2019.
