Hear From Our Students
Still Have Questions About Our BSN Degree Program?
Can I work full-time while enrolled?
Yes, you can work full-time while enrolled in Pacific College’s integrative nursing program, but it may be very challenging.
The program offers 100% online coursework, with on-campus labs and clinical rotations. This provides flexibility for students managing outside responsibilities. Like all nursing degree programs, it includes intensive coursework and clinical rotations (nursing practice), which can be extremely time-consuming and emotionally demanding.
Clinical rotations are scheduled in-person and may include daytime hours, which can conflict with a traditional 9 to 5 job. While the program structure offers some flexibility, successfully working full-time would require exceptional time management and a highly supportive work schedule, especially during clinical rotations. Many students opt for part-time work instead.
Are there any prerequisites required to enroll in the Hybrid BSN program?
No, there are no prior college prerequisites or waitlists required to enter our pre-licensure BSN program. Admissions are based on a comprehensive review that includes a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75, a TEAS score of 68 or higher, and standard background and drug screenings.
How long does it take to complete the BSN degree at Pacific College?
Students starting without any transfer credits can complete the program in 8 semesters, which is under 3 years. If you have eligible transfer credits, your completion time may be shortened.
Where Will I Study?
Didactic coursework is 100% online. Hands-on experiences are held in our brand new state-of-the-art skills and simulation labs at PCHS’s New York City campus located in the Financial District at 110 William St. (above Fulton St. Station).
Is the Pacific College BSN program accredited?
Yes. The baccalaureate nursing program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and WSCUC. It is also fully registered with the New York State Department of Education.
