Nursing Bridge program

Our Nursing Bridge Program is for RNs that have a bachelor’s degree from a regionally or nationally accredited college or university in an unrelated field but want to earn their master’s degree in nursing.

Nursing Bridge program you’ll take the same introductory course all MSN students take, however you’ll be required to take three nursing upper division level bridge courses.

This program helps nurses in this category more quickly earn their MSN, saving them time and money. You will apply the knowledge you gained as an undergraduate along with your hard-earned nursing knowledge towards our Master of Science in Nursing program.

These courses provide you the additional skills and knowledge you need, including a mastery of foundational, undergraduate content in the areas of nursing theory, evidence-based practice and research and standards of professional practice.


BS in Nursing

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN, BScN) also known in some countries as a Bachelor of Nursing (BN) or Bachelor of Science (BS) with a Major in Nursing is an academic degree in the science and principles of nursing, granted by an accredited tertiary education provider.


Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs allow those who already have a bachelor's degree in a non-nursing field to obtain their nursing degree at an accelerated rate, which is why they are also commonly referred to as "Second Degree Nursing Programs". These programs usually have strict prerequisites because the program coursework focuses solely on nursing. Accelerated BSN programs are typically anywhere from 12–20 months.
