School of Nursing

About this Program

There couldn’t be a better time to pursue a career in nursing. Jobs in nursing are growing exponentially and starting with a bachelor's degree will give you an advantage over the competition. In a recent survey, job pursuers with a bachelor’s in nursing were eligible for 88% of the posted positions. It’s becoming more and more likely that a BSN degree will be required in the future as more hospitals seek "magnet" destination status.

Meet the need. Nurses are:

• In demand: Careers in nursing are expected to grow by 16% in the next seven years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
• Top earners: On average, nurses with a BSN make $20,000 more a year than those with a registered nursing certificate only. 
• 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.
