RN-BSN

We’ve made getting your Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at Washington State University even more convenient.

The current Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN-BSN) curriculum replaces on-site, precepted clinical hours with practice experience hours gained by completing a community/population health project and a capstone project. You’ll complete the program mostly online, starting any semester. Only one attendance day per semester is required for interactive learning and meeting with your course instructors.

It gives the working nurse more flexibility and the chance to delve deeply into a topic of interest.

Why earn your BSN?

As you are looking to build upon what you’ve learned in your associate nursing degree, consider that more than three-fourths of employers have a strong preference for hiring BSN-prepared nurses. Almost half of health care facilities in the United States require new hires to have a BSN. Having a bachelor’s degree can open more doors to leadership and management positions.

The WSU College of Nursing offers a degree-completion program for RNs geared for the working professional. Whether you’re returning to school or are part of a direct-transfer community college program, courses are offered in a flexible, mostly online format. With 30 years of leadership in RN-BSN education, the WSU College of Nursing is recognized throughout the Pacific Northwest as a high-quality institution that produces exceptional graduates.
