Program Description:
This online degree completion program provides current registered nurses who have a hospital diploma or associate degree in nursing with the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. Changing job placements in health care organizations and evolving demands by diverse populations for superior health care delivery, and pending legislation in several states (NY, IA), are propelling the nursing industry to establish a bachelor's degree as minimum preparation to practice.

Walden's BSN curriculum has been designed by nursing experts and provides an in-depth understanding of evidence-based practices that can be applied on the job immediately. The program can be completed in as little as 18 months (time to completion depends on individual progress and credits transferred). With a Walden BSN degree, you can gain the skills and credentials you need to stay current in an evolving health care industry.
