Applications now open for new RN to BSN program at Ohio State Lima
LIMA – The Ohio State University at Lima will offer an in-person registered nurse to Bachelor of Science in nursing program from the College of Nursing beginning autumn semester 2021.
The RN to BSN option provides an opportunity for licensed registered nurses with an associate degree or diploma from an accredited institution to earn a Bachelor of Science in nursing.
“Providing the BSN completion program that builds on the excellent associate degrees in our region is a great professional progression for nurses making careers in health care,” Ohio State Lima Dean and Director Tim Rehner said. “Providing an accessible educational pathway that is affordable, in-person and convenient for students to complete the BSN is a practical way for Ohio State Lima to address the pressing need for more BSNs in our local health care systems.”

LIMA Thanks to the state’s latest capital budget, a total of $6.7 million is expected to head to multiple projects in Allen County, including sizable appropriations for Lima’s downtown amphitheater project, The Ohio State University-Lima and Rhodes State College.
Out of the 11 allocations set aside for Allen County, the largest single line item is $1.7 million allocated to OSU-Lima’s project to renovate the campus’s oldest building Galvin Hall.
“Everybody that’s been a student at OSU-Lima have taken classes in that building. The faculty that has worked has taught there. It is the center of OSU’s presence on that campus. It was established in the late ’60s, and now it’s time for some investment to bring it up to a 21st century educational environment,” OSU-LIMA Dean and Director Tim Rehner said.
