RN to BSN Online: Education and Career Advancement for Nursing Professionals
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN) online program prepares nurses licensed in the United States for a successful career in today's demanding healthcare environment. Graduates of this online RN to BSN program perform better in their profession and assume roles that demand critical-thinking, decision-making, communication, and leadership skills.
A recommendation was recently made by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) that Academic Nurse leaders across all schools of nursing should work together to increase the proportion of nurses with a baccalaureate degree from 50% to 80% by 2020 ("The Future of Nursing - Leading Change, Advancing Health", Institute of Medicine, 2010).
