license will have satisfied all requirements for admission to King鈥檚 RN-BSN program.
Those students will be classified as juniors who have satisfied all general education
requirements, except for Common Experience courses unique to King.

requirements, in three semesters instead of four.

well as the ongoing need for skilled healthcare providers,鈥� said Dr. Donna Fraysier,

the area workforce, we pursue those benefits on behalf of our students and region.鈥�
