The Early Admission Registered Nurse (EARN) program is a partnership between Delgado Community College Charity School of Nursing (DCCCSN) and LSU Health New Orleans School of Nursing (LSUHNO SON). The EARN program allows DCCCSN students to begin LSUHNO SON RN to BSN courses while enrolled in their second semester at DCCCSN.
When do I apply?
Current DCCCSN students may apply during their first semester at DCCCSN. If accepted into the EARN program, an applicant will be provisionally admitted.
How long is the EARN program?
DCCCSN students who start in the EARN program can begin taking non-clinical RN to BSN courses at LSUHNO SON. Upon completion of the ADN program, students can complete the remaining courses at LSUHNOSON in two semesters (either Spring/Summer or Summer/Fall).
Curriculum Plan:
EARN students can take one course at LSUHNO SON each semester (see below for the list of course options). If a student aims to take more than one course, Dr. Jennifer Manning; the RN to BSN Program Director must be emailed and approve this request.
**Students can only take the last three courses after graduating from the ADN program **
How does financial aid work for EARN students?
Students admitted into EARN will notify LSUHNO Financial Aid of added coursework. Students will be responsible for paying LSUHNO SON directly for the course taken in the EARN Program each semester. EARN students are not eligible for financial aid at LSUHNO while receiving financial aid at DCCCSN.
What are the prerequisite courses needed?
The following prerequisites are required for EARN students:
