The RN to BSN is an accelerated BSN degree completion program for RNs who have a current and valid Iowa RN license. In accordance with the Iowa Articulation Plan for Nursing Education: RN to Baccalaureate, Mount Mercy offers this program tailored for working RNs with three years of experience to earn a bachelor of science in nursing. Upon completion of the application process, the RN to BSN advisor assists students in establishing the most appropriate program of study.

Applicants to the program must meet the following admission criteria:

  • At least 23 years of age.

  • At least three years of work experience as a nurse.

  • Cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher for transferable college credit.

  • Current and valid Iowa RN license. Nursing courses with a clinical component may not be taken by a person who has been denied licensure by the Board; whose license is currently suspended, surrendered or revoked in any U.S. jurisdiction; whose license/registration is currently suspended, surrendered or revoked in another country due to disciplinary action.
