About this Program

There couldn’t be a better time to pursue a career in nursing. As the fastest growing occupation in healthcare, qualified nurses are sought after—not just in the U.S., but around the world. A nursing education gives you other options too; you can work in more conventional settings like hospitals and doctors offices, but nurses are also employed in non-traditional places, like national parks and zoos. With a career in nursing, your options are limitless. If you are interested, tell us who you are.

Meet the need. Nurses are:

  • In demand: Growth in nursing careers is expected to increase 16% in the next seven years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
  • Top earners: On average, nurses with a BSN make $68,000 a year, depending on the setting. Continuing with your education and earning your master's in nursing can take that figure into triple digits.
  • Vital: As baby boomers age and changes occur in healthcare laws, the demand for healthcare professionals is projected to rise.

Expand your abilities. Nurses with a BSN are equipped to:

  • Work in versatile environments such as hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, long-term care facilities, community health nursing, military settings and home care.
  • Teach, perform case management and work in healthcare research studies and in the insurance industry.
  • Continue on to higher degrees to be qualified to be a nurse practitioner, clinical specialist, hospital administration or executive nurse.

Through earning your BSN at Eastern, you’ll benefit from the knowledge and hands-on practice of highly qualified faculty, while having the opportunity to learn in a variety of settings for clinical experiences. If you're interested in continuing your education, we offer several graduate degrees, certificates and two doctoral programs.
