The Cizik School of Nursing at the University of Texas School of Nursing at Houston (UTHealth) has two exciting opportunities that lead to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. These opportunities include the Pacesetter BSN and the RN to BSN programs.
Pacesetter BSN graduates of our programs are prepared to take the licensure examination (NCLEX) for registered nurses. Our graduates have a high degree of success in passing this exam. Graduates of the RN to BSN program gain a higher level of nursing knowledge in evidence-based practice, critical thinking, leadership, and nursing expertise.
