BSN stands for Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a baccalaureate undergraduate nursing degree you can earn as a key step to becoming a Registered Nurse (RN), or the next educational pathway for current ADN nurses seeking career advancement.

A BSN is a step up from an associate in nursing (ADN/ASN) and can offer further job opportunities for nurses seeking a particular specialty or are looking ahead to earning a master’s degree in nursing (MSN).

All nursing courses are a combination of General Education requirements, core classes, electives, and clinicals. Some core classes have prerequisites which need to be fulfilled before the course is completed. The exact curriculum and requirements vary by program.

Yes, you can earn a nursing degree online, but keep in mind none of our nursing programs may be completed entirely online. 

Here’s why: real experience in the field is critical to your success as a nurse. Your clinical experience is vital to becoming qualified for the job and excel immediately in your new career.

Many classes may be completed online, such as in our online ASN, BSN, and MSN Direct Entry programs, but it is your hands-on clinicals that will provide you with the best experience to prepare you for your career in nursing. Herzing University provides you with the best of both worlds.
