Bacone College Nursing Program Review

Bacone College (BC) was founded in 1880 and was the oldest college of continuing higher education. Today, they provide students with the chance to reflect how they can live, work and study together for a more meaningful experience in education that is committed to following Christian principles and values at the same time.

Bacone College – Nursing

This program has been accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) and has been approved by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing (OBN).

Graduates can take the National Council Licensure Examination for registered nurses (NCLEX-RN).

Traditional 2-Year Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) Program

This program can be completed in two years and consists of general education courses and nursing courses, the latter of which involves classroom work and clinical experiences in various healthcare settings around Oklahoma. Students will have to take various tests as required by the state and get decent proficiency scores from them.

However, this program is still under review by the OBN by now in order to identify any improvements and changes that can be made to improve the program and make it stronger overall. Until all of the reviews have been completed, no new students will be admitted into the program.

Registered Nursing to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN) Program

This degree completion program can be completed in 9 to 17 months. It exists solely for RNs who already have valid nursing licenses and consists of general education courses and nursing courses, as well. However, this program can also be taken online, if desired. Also, practicum experiences can be individual arranged as needed.

Licensed Practical Nursing to Registered Nursing (LPN to RN) Transition Program

This program exists for students who are already LPNs and have bachelor’s degrees, but wish to get a degree to become an RN, as well.

Bacone College Centers

Bacone College has various centers available for their students, including the center for American Indians, the Center for Christian Ministry and the Center for Church Relations.

Center for American Indians

This center helps preserve the American Indian Collections that can be found at the school, as well as coordinate with American Indian cultural programs and degrees at the same time. It also helps the school do more research on things related to the overall future of American Indian collections and education in higher educational institutions as needed.

Center for Christian Ministry

This center helps the school nurture a more spiritual life on-campus by hosting three services a week, as well, and by providing spiritual guidance to those in need through small group ministry and counseling.

Center for Church Relations

Bacone College is committed to providing their students with a nurturing Christian education and environment. Because of this, they have partnerships with certain churches in the vicinity that support their students and scholarships. They do this by providing online and offline training to non-traditional students, helping these churches grow, providing ministry for special events at these churches, and providing continuing education to various churches.
