What to expect from an online RN-BSN program
Online RN-BSN programs build on the nursing skills and capabilities you already have, giving you a chance to accelerate the advancement of your career.
Learn on your own terms
Online RN-BSN programs are proving to be increasingly flexible, respected, and viable options for existing nurses looking to up-skill—but, what do they involve exactly?
First of all, online RN-BSN courses are 100% distance-based and take up to 16 months (depending on your personal level of experience and credits) as opposed to four years.
Covering a range of practical and theoretical concepts, these courses are highly flexible and designed for busy RN qualified nurses to fit their studies around their existing and no doubt demanding schedules.
Plus, if you have existing credits from other institutions, you can transfer them to accelerate your learning and lower your course costs in the process.

“Nursing is an art: and if it is to be an art, it requires as exclusive a devotion, as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work... It is one of the Fine Arts; I had almost said, the finest of the Fine Arts.”—Florence Nightingale, 1859
