Throughout your UAGC coursework in ECE 201, ECE 203, ECE 205, ECE 207, and ECE 214, content related to the eight CDA® subject areas is embedded in your weekly discussions, assignments, journals, interactives and quizzes. Additionally, some of your coursework can be used to complete your CDA® Professional Portfolio should you choose to pursue obtaining your CDA®.

The University of Arizona Global Campus is a partner of the Council for Professional Recognition. Coursework for students enrolled in the AA in Early Childhood Education program at the University of Arizona Global Campus may satisfy the 120 hours of education in the eight CDA® Subject Areas and will provide a jumpstart on completing the components necessary for the CDA® Professional Portfolio. Additional steps beyond UAGC coursework will be needed to obtain your CDA®.

In addition, UAGC may perform routine, periodic validations of student RN licenses to ensure compliance with this requirement.

California Students: Applicants must possess an active, unrestricted license to practice as a Registered Nurse (RN) in the state of California. All students must maintain this licensure throughout the program of study. Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the program. Students are responsible for informing the University of Arizona Global Campus of any change to the status of their RN license or their state of residence. In addition, UAGC may perform routine, periodic validations of student RN licenses to ensure compliance with this requirement.

Alabama Students: Approval of a program to offer Alabama licensed nurses opportunities for advanced degrees does not indicate eligibility for approval to practice as an advanced practice nurse in Alabama. Applicants for approval in Alabama are required to meet the Alabama requirements for national certification, graduation from a specific-type program for the advanced practice approval, and completion of the appropriate application. Any program offering a pre-licensure track to Alabama students shall meet the requirements of the Alabama regulations for pre-licensure programs or the graduates may not be eligible to take the national licensure examination required by the Alabama Board of Nursing (https://www.abn.alabama.gov/) to enter the practice.

Program-Specific Requirements

In order to transfer credits for NUR courses in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, the credits to be transferred must come from a school or program accredited by Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) or Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).

Professional Practice Experiences in the RN-BSN Program

The RN-BSN program requires sixty (60) hours of Practice Experience activities. Practice Experiences involve various activities, including direct (in-person) and indirect care experiences at a clinical site. Students must complete the Practice Experience activities in each course before they can complete it and earn a passing grade. Practice experiences are integrated into the following courses:

NUR 402 Community Health Nursing (30 hours)
NUR 492 Capstone I: Nursing Practice Improvement Inquiry (10 hours)
NUR 494 Capstone II: Nursing Practice Improvement and Evaluation (20 hours)

The Practice Experience in NUR 402 consists of practice-related activities designed to allow students to address a public health issue in their community specific to an at-risk population. This includes assessing the community and identifying a community organization that provides services to the at-risk population. Under a community manager's and course faculty's direction, students design and implement an educational intervention to improve the health of the at-risk population.

In NUR 492, you will have the opportunity to identify and consult with a nurse manager. This will be followed by a sequence of assignments culminating in a quality improvement project proposal. This proposal will then be further developed in NUR 494 Capstone II. In this second capstone course, you will work with the same nurse manager from NUR 492 to develop a comprehensive plan for implementing, evaluating, and disseminating the quality improvement project proposal.

A simulated practice laboratory experience using Shadow Health® is a substantive learning component of NUR 304 Health Assessment. For more details, please review the Practice Experience Guide.

The RN to BSN is not available in all states. Students can only complete the RN to BSN in states where the program is available. If a student moves to a state or country where the RN to BSN is not available after admission into the program, it may impact whether the student can remain in the degree program, continue to receive financial aid funding, and/or complete the required Practice Experience.

Students enrolling in a degree program with a Practice Experience requirement are expected to complete the Practice Experience in the United States and may be required to be available during standard U.S. time zones. If students anticipate that they will not be able to complete their Practice Experience in the United States, all exceptions must be approved prior to admission into the program. Students who reside and/or work outside the United States will be ineligible to complete Practice Experience hours at a facility abroad.
