Nursing Demand is Growing
Demand for nursing professionals is projected to continue to grow over the next decade due to an aging population. While an RN credential allows for entry into the nursing profession, many nurses find a full Bachelors of Nursing degree is required for advancement. The RN to BSN program allows those who are already registered nurses to pursue their BSN. Since coursework is 100% online, many students find they can work and pursue educational advancement at the same time.
- Note: Applicants must have graduated from an accredited nursing program in any state and currently hold an unencumbered RN license.
