Types of Nursing programs

This site indicates the RN to BSN is “a program designed for Registered Nurse graduates of associate degree or diploma programs who want to complete their BSN degree. It provides credit for nursing skills already learned through school or work experience. Most often these programs are available with a very flexible schedule designed to meet the needs of working nurses. Classes might meet only evenings, or weekends. Some schools have “RN-only” classes which are separate from classes taught to pre-licensure students.

Many schools have multiple start dates each year for these programs, rather than just one date in the Fall. Several online RN-2-BSN programs are available. These programs are also known as Bridge Programs, BSN for RN’s, Completion Programs, Nursing Mobility in Education Programs, Advanced Placement, Advanced Standing, or Transition Options. Approximately 30% of BSN graduates annually come from RN-to-BSN programs.”

Hope this helps. Best wishes.
