Does OU contact the BON after completion of BSN?

Or do I? If so, how do I let them know I have completed the BSN program? Thanks

(sorry if its a dumb Q!!!)

I'm not sure why the BON would want to know about the BSN. Your previous school provided the verification neccessary for your BON to allow you to sit for the NCLEX and PV then provided the verification that you passed resulting in your BON issuing a license. So I'm not sure why the BON cares about a BSN since it does not change your scope of practice (at least that's the case in my state).

You should certainly contact your state's BON and check though. Many states give ConEd credit for BSN coursework - I know my home state (PA) does.

Do you know how much credit we get???

do you know how much credit we get???

not sure if we get credit as trimester or quarter units and it seems puzzling that you get the same ce hours for 3, 4 or 5 credit courses, but here's what the pa bon website says:

how is academic coursework counted towards ce?

academic nursing credits are as follows:

1 trimester unit=12 ce hours

1 quarter unit=10 ce hours

1 semester unit=15 ce hours

for academic purposes, one unit is equivalent to one academic course. ce hours are per course, not per the number of credits given for the course. these academic ce hours are the same regardless of whether you are a full time, part time, associate, baccalaureate, masters or doctorate level student. any academic courses taken must pertain to nursing. ce hours will be accepted for academic courses completed within your biennial renewal period.

I guess I just assumed that they kept track of that. But then again why do they care as long as the NCLEX is passed. Thanks!
