RN-BSN Online
The RN-BSN program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. Students who enter this program have earned an Associate of Applied Science degree (AAS) in Nursing from a community college or a diploma program. Upon completion of the BSN, students are prepared for graduate study at the master’s degree level or enter a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program. The master’s degree or DNP are essential for teaching, administration, clinical specialization, and research.
The RN-BSN program is offered entirely online at ASU Online.
The RN-BSN program builds on the knowledge and skills the student learned in their associate degree or diploma program. The course assignments will enhance the student’s written and verbal communication skills, clinical reasoning skills, and information technology skills. Faculty are leaders and experts in their practice areas. Faculty strive to prepare graduates who will be engaged, professional, innovative leaders who use evidence-based practice to facilitate positive change in the work environment and community. Graduates will demonstrate holistic population-based perspectives and be solution identifiers, client advocates and effective communicators.

Student Comments
"I have always thought that I was just a floor nurse and that my opinions and thoughts would never bring about change. These courses have proven me wrong. Being a floor nurse puts me in the for-front to make changes in patient outcomes and provide insight to the ever changing medical field and nursing process."
