FAQs
Is the Program Flexible?
Our RN to BSN online format allows you to balance your busy schedule as an RN, all while remaining on track for graduation. Coursework follows an asynchronous learning structure, meaning you can log in at times that are most convenient to you, while still completing assignments within a logical time frame.
Are there Clinicals?
The RN to BSN program includes a clinical component designed to apply RN to BSN online coursework to real-world practice. This allows students to apply coursework to their current nursing careers. During clinicals, students engage in experiential learning activities via course assignments and activities that apply ideas, theories, and concepts learned in the classroom into real-world nursing practice.
As a student, you will work with a professional mentor who will guide you as you apply the new knowledge you are obtaining into your current employment role. This mentor will, at minimum, have their BSN credential and their support better prepares you to assume roles requiring increased leadership capability and clinical responsibility in your delivery of care.
