States, you can obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree

BSN degree opens doors to more and better career options and additional
management responsibilities. The BSN also prepares you for graduate
nursing study.

meet your busy schedule as a working professional. With this program,
you can receive credit for prior educational experience, attend the
clinical course in your local area, and finish in one year after you
meet all prerequisite and general education requirements.
