R.N. to B.S. in Nursing

Why Earn Your BS Now?

Healthcare in the US has become increasingly complex with many nurses stepping into leadership positions. Many hospitals are making it a policy to require every nurse to have a minimum of a BS, or at least an agreement to pursue that degree within a period of time.

According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, all magnet hospitals require 75% of their managers to have a minimum of a bachelors or masters degree in nursing. The current nursing environment is becoming more competitive, meaning that earning a BS is now more crucial for nurses than ever before.
