Bachelor's in Nursing
About the Nursing Program
Providing both affordability and flexibility, the online RN to BSN program is designed to meet the needs of Registered Nurses pursuing their Bachelor of Science in Nursing. SRU is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and the RN to BSN program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
What Can I Do With a Nursing Degree?
Earning your Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is the key to unlocking advanced career opportunities and leadership roles within the healthcare system. While an associate degree prepares you for essential patient care, a BSN expands your expertise in critical thinking, community health, and leadership, making you a highly sought-after candidate for promotions and specialized positions. With a BSN, you can pursue roles as a nurse manager, public health nurse, or specialize in high-demand areas like critical care, pediatrics, or oncology. It also serves as the necessary foundation for pursuing graduate studies to become a Nurse Practitioner (NP), Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS), or Nurse Educator, significantly broadening your long-term career horizons.
