RN to BSN Program Details

Never before have there been so many excellent opportunities for baccalaureate prepared registered nurses. With the complexity of care nurses deliver and the critical thinking skills required at the bedside, having a bachelor’s degree is becoming the gold standard for the profession.

For nurses who are currently licensed to practice as Registered Nurses by the Florida Board of Nursing, our RN to Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN) program will help you develop stronger clinical reasoning and analytical skills needed to advance your career.

Building on your initial nursing preparation, course work aims to enhance professional development, prepare you for a broader scope of practice, and provide you with a better understanding of the cultural, political, economic, and social issues that affect patients and influence care delivery.
