The faculty of Georgia Baptist College of Nursing endorses baccalaureate education as the entry-level preparation for the practice of professional nursing. The RN-BSN Advanced Track is a special accelerated course of study for registered nurses who hold a Diploma or Associate Degree in Nursing and are currently licensed to practice in the state of Georgia. Qualified RN students may complete the Advanced Track through full-time or part-time study. Courses are designed for the adult student with course times to accommodate most working RNs without duplication of prelicensure experiences. Most courses are offered one day per week. Courses extend 8 weeks, 10 weeks, or 16 weeks.
