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 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.

With the current nursing shortage and complex environments, the need for qualified nurses has increased. Your BS degree will cover relevant and current subject material related to this ever changing field.

Roberts Wesleyan College designed their RN to BS program to meet the full needs of an adult learner who is already a registered nurse. This program is focused on bringing students the convenience and flexibility to continue with any current nursing and life responsibilities, all while pursuing their BS. Students are given the support, tools, and technology needed to successfully complete their nursing degree.
