Columbus State University School of Nursing

Columbus State University School of Nursing CSU School of Nursing offers the BSN, Online RN-BSN, and Online MSN/FNP Programs.

Our BSN graduates have a program experience guided by professors who have created a relevant four-semester nursing curriculum (starting in the junior year - the first four semesters of coursework are prerequisites). The curriculum, which includes many hands-on clinical opportunities, prepares the BSN student to take the NCLEX (National Council Licensure Exam) at the end of the program. Our BSN pro

gram is ranked nationally in the top 100 Best Affordable Nursing Degrees. Columbus State's undergraduate program in nursing is approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing. Our RN-BSN Program is an online program designed for working registered nurses who want to advance their career by completing their BSN. Our RN-BSN program is also ranked nationally in the top 30 RN-BSN programs and statewide in the top 3. The baccalaureate degree program in nursing at Columbus State University is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. Our MSN and FNP programs are also online programs with the ability to complete clinical experiences in your area. Our FNP program is ranked nationally in the top 5 Most Affordable Online Nurse Practitioner Degrees and our MSN program is one of the top 5 programs in Georgia. While the MSN/FNP program was established as part of the Georgia Intercollegiate Consortium for Graduate Nursing Education (GICGNE), CSU School of Nursing was approved to launch its own MSN/FNP program in the spring of 2020. The master's degree program in nursing at Columbus State University under GICGNE is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.

Columbus State University nursing students attended Georgia Nurses Association (GNA) Day at the Capitol. Our nursing students and CSU student leaders had the opportunity to visit the Geogia State Capitol to sharpen their advocacy skills and further their understanding of the lawmaking process.

Our students had the opportunity to meet with Representative Carmen Rice, Senator Randy Robertson, Representative Teddy Reese, Sheriff Mike Jolley (who also serves as a Miracle Rider), Senator Ed Harbison, Representative Carolyn Hugley, and receive a House of Representative floor tour by Representative Vance Smith.

Thank you to each elected official taking the time to speak with our students and for your continued support of Columbus State University and our School of Nursing. A special thank you to Caseman and Davis for such as special GNA Day at the Capitol!
