Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN)
The RN to BSN degree program builds upon your nursing skills by providing research-based learning, leadership training, and liberal arts. Earning the BSN prepares you to offer patients a higher level of knowledge and expertise. The degree can also be used for those wishing to advance into management or director positions in a health care system.
UT Arlington’s College of Nursing has revised its online RN to BSN program to include all the courses you need to graduate with your BSN, including general courses. Online learning also allows you to continue your education while juggling the many activities of home and work.
You can enroll immediately regardless of the number of general courses* you have completed by clicking the Apply Now! button. This unique online delivery format is the most cost-effective and efficient way to provide a BSN degree to nurses who hold an Associate Degree or a Diploma.
Moving from RN to BSN can help you:
- Develop a personal framework for your professional nursing practice.
