The goal of Marshall University’s Online RN to BSN program is to provide nurses who have graduated from either a nationally accredited associate degree program or diploma program with a mechanism for obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). This flexible, online part time program allows the nurse to expand their capacity for critical thinking and clinical judgment. The core curriculum provides a general education with exposure to multiple disciplines including fine arts, social sciences, and humanities in an interactive, online environment. The RN to BSN nursing curriculum provides learning opportunities that foster the integration of clinical knowledge, research, and evidence-based practice.
Through the nationally accredited R.N. to B.S.N. curriculum you will better understand the integration of clinical knowledge, research and evidence-based practice, have better patient outcomes, and have more job opportunities.
