Upon successful completion of the BSN curriculum, generic and LVN to BSN graduates are eligible to apply for licensure as a registered nurse and to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN?). Upon meeting licensure requirements and passing the NCLEX-RN?, the Tarleton BSN graduate will become a BSN RN.

The BSN program offers a traditional program of study for those students who are not licensed as nurses. Traditional students take pre-admission nursing courses while completing their general education requirements. Upon program admission you will complete the BSN program in 2 years of study. Candidates are admitted in both the fall and spring semester of each year.
