A Flexible Program for Busy Nurses
RN to BSN online students may start in the fall, spring and summer semesters. You can complete the RN to BSN online nursing program on a full-time or part-time basis. While a two-year, part-time completion of nursing courses is typical, you may proceed at a slower pace, if desired. This allows you to work towards your degree while meeting the demands of work and family responsibilities.
