Online Nursing Classes
Our RN to MSN program offers a seamless pathway for registered nurses holding an associate degree or nursing diploma to elevate their careers by achieving a Master of Science in Nursing. This online master's in nursing is tailored for the working professional, enabling you to pursue advanced education without pausing your career. Choose between two pivotal tracks: Nursing Leadership or Nursing Education, and embark on a journey to nursing excellence.
This RN bridge program credits your past nursing and general education towards your degree. First, you'll finish 18 credit hours of bachelor-level nursing coursework and any necessary general education courses. Then, you'll move on to the MSN part, choosing between Nursing Education or Leadership, for coursework. Although you won't get a BSN, this program counts as one, recognized by top education bodies. You'll graduate with an MSN, ready for higher roles in nursing.
Specialize in Nursing Leadership or Nursing Education
Online coursework with four clinical practice experiences and two practicum experiences completed in the student’s geographic location provide relevant opportunities to enhance your integration of knowledge into practice
Program designed for the working nurse allowing you to balance professional commitments with academic advancement
Advance your nursing career with our RN to MSN program. Transition from RN with 32-39 credits from your associate or diploma, through bachelor-level nursing courses to a specialized MSN in Education or Leadership, online. Although you won't get a BSN you'll graduate with an MSN, ready for higher roles in nursing.
Our RN to MSN program offers the required education in fewer credit hours. According to the Baccalaureate Equivalency for Graduates of the RN to MSN Degree, graduates do not receive a BSN but must complete specific baccalaureate coursework and the RN to MSN bridge course before starting MSN coursework. Upon completion of the RN to MSN program, graduates will hold an MSN, which is considered higher than a Baccalaureate Degree.
Kickstart your journey in our RN to MSN program with five foundational courses, pivotal for both Nursing Leadership and Nursing Education tracks. These courses lay the groundwork for your specialized path, leading to targeted Capstone and Practicum experiences that propel your career in nursing forward.
The RN-MSN tracks in Nursing Education and Leadership are witnessing a surge in demand due to a faculty shortage and healthcare reforms, positioning nurses at the forefront of care delivery and educational roles. These tracks offer robust opportunities in various healthcare settings, preparing nurses for pivotal roles in shaping the future of healthcare.
