Columbus State University College of Education and Health Professions School of Nursing Facts and Figures Reference Data Publication The Columbus State University School of Nursing has demonstrated growth in the degrees offered in the nursing program. The School of Nursing implemented an online RN to BSN program in 2010. In 2012, the School of Nursing joined the Georgia Intercollegiate Consortium for Graduate Nursing Education (GICGNE), a partnership between Columbus State University and Georgia Southwestern University. This has resulted in the establishment of a Masters in Nursing program to meet demands for advanced degrees in the nursing profession. Through the GICGNE partnership, a Family Nurse Practitioner program was implemented in January of 2015. The School of Nursing has exhibited diverse patterns within the programs. The patterns in the 2015-2016 academic year included a decline of 7.8% in the undergraduate bachelor of nursing program, an increase of 29.4% in the RN to BSN nursing program, and an increase of 103 % in the Columbus State cohort of MSN and FNP students.

Retention rate has been reported yearly for Columbus State University. The School of Nursing has defined retention based on each cohort of students accepted. The change in trending retention rate was implemented in academic year 2014 to 2015. The time frame utilized for completion is three years from acceptance into the Bachelors of Science in Nursing program. The RN to BSN Program is composed of Registered Nurses who are completing the Bachelors of Science in Nursing Degree. Students accepted must still complete core curriculum required by the nursing program. The majority of students enrolled attend part-time. Completion of the core curriculum and part-time attendance are variables which may contribute to a lower retention rate. The retention rate for the RN to BSN Program is noted in Figure 9.
