The BSN degree has become essential for nurses seeking to perform at a case manager or supervisory level or desire the flexibility to move across employment settings.

RNs are in high demand, but RNs with BSNs are in even higher demand. The National Advisory Council on Nurse Education and Practice insists that at least two-thirds of the basic nurse workforce will hold baccalaureate or higher degrees in nursing by 2010. This need comes in response to the aging population and increases in patient acuity - both of which require RNs with advanced skills.

Jacksonville University has designed the BSN degree program to offer RNs an opportunity to complete their baccalaureate education while managing work and family responsibilities. Offered through Jacksonville University's School of Nursing, the program was designed by both nursing educators and nursing service administrators, resulting in a curriculum that blends a strong academic science base with practical clinical knowledge.

Features of the RN to BSN program include:

Opportunity to transfer credits from accredited colleges & universities
Receive up to 30 credits for an active U.S. RN license
