Traditional Students Connection
The Traditional Baccalaureate Degree is well-suited to students with no prior nursing experience who are seeking their first degree in nursing. The Traditional program provides learning opportunities for undergraduate students in a variety of classroom and clinical settings to prepare students to take the National Council Licensure Examination Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN) to secure licensure as a professional nurse. Earning a Baccalaureate degree (BS) in nursing from Idaho State University requires students to earn 128 credits which are completed over a minimum of four years. Students take general education and nursing prerequisite courses their first year at the university. Then students must apply and be accepted into the baccalaureate nursing program to complete their program of study.
