Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Completion Program

The need for registered nurses is projected to continue to increase dramatically through 2016, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.* Along with this growth in demand, RNs are increasingly expected to enhance their educational preparation in today's evolving healthcare industry. For example, the AACN and the ANA have issued position statements recommending the Bachelor of Science in Nursing as the minimum required preparation to practice. In addition, the earnings gap between those with and without a bachelor’s degree is growing. (U.S Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics)
