Contact Person: Jayne Kiner • Jack Science Center 201D 224-5493 • Jayne.Kiner@bismarckstate.edu
The Medcenter One College of Nursing (MOCN) is an accredited single purpose college that offers an upper division registered professional nursing program. Graduates of MOCN receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree and are eligible to write the NCLEX-RN Examination.
Students usually complete the prerequisites for MOCN at BSC within two years and graduate from BSC with an Associate in Science degree. To meet the academic requirements of MOCN, students must have a minimum of a 2.5 overall GPA, and a 2.5 science GPA composed of at least three courses selected from two semesters of chemistry, two semesters of anatomy and physiology and one semester of microbiology.
The MOCN admits one class each spring. Application of admission to the College of Nursing is made directly to MOCN following completion of the freshman year. Applications will be accepted until November 7 or classes are filled. For progression into the Junior year nursing courses, students must have completed all prerequisite courses and have obtained certification as a nursing assistant (CNA).
High School students who plan to enter BSC and follow a registered nursing curriculum should take biology, chemistry and the appropriate mathematics courses in high school. Students who do not have the appropriate high school courses should expect to spend longer than two years at BSC before transfer to MOCN.
Career Possibilities: Providing nursing care in a variety of settings, i.e.: hospitals, clinics, home health, long term care, community health, schools.
