While the A-BSN options are residential and only offered at select campuses in those states, it has been determined that they meet the educational requirements for licensure as an RN in additional states as displayed below. “Meets” means that the A-BSN options meet the educational requirements for professional licensure. “Does Not Meet” means that the A-BSN options do not meet the educational requirements for professional licensure. “Undetermined” means that Rasmussen was unable to determine, after reasonable efforts, whether the A-BSN options meet the educational requirements for professional licensure.

Students may only be registered in core nursing courses once they have completed all General Education course requirements of the block transfer, either through transfer of credit or completion of General Education courses at Rasmussen University. Students who are in their final quarter of completing their General Education course requirements may be scheduled for their first Nursing courses in order to be eligible for financial aid or to attain full-time status. Students enrolled in this program who fail or withdraw from a core Nursing course must successfully repeat that same course in the next quarter the course is offered in order to progress in this program. Additionally, in order to take a course that lists a prerequisite, the student must have successfully completed the prerequisite course prior to registering for the post-requisite course. A student who drops, withdraws, or fails a prerequisite course will be withdrawn from any future courses that classify that course as a prerequisite; for additional information, see the Course Descriptions section. To graduate in this program, students must complete all required NUR coursework with a grade of C or better, achieve all required skill competencies, and satisfactorily complete all required clinical experiences. This program may require specific immunizations prior to professional practice experience.
