RN to BSN Completion

Are you looking to take your nursing career to the next level? Mercyhurst North East can help you to achieve that goal with its RN to BSN Completion Program.

Registered Nurses will have the opportunity to complete the necessary coursework weekday evenings (once or twice a week), making it convenient for those trying to balance careers, families and school. All nursing courses integrate both distance learning and face-to-face learning strategies. Blended learning has been shown to best meet the needs of working RNs by cutting back on the time the RN needs to be on-campus, while still allowing for time to interact with professors and peers.

This program prepares the RN to adapt to an ever-changing healthcare delivery system, to care for individuals, families, and communities and to function in leadership positions. Graduates will also be qualified to pursue advanced level professional and educational opportunities.

Mercyhurst North East’s RN to BSN program is unique in that students who have successfully completed either an Associate’s Degree in Nursing or Diploma program are eligible to enter the program without additional pre-requisites. It’s also unique because of its seven term system; a schedule that allows the RN to spread their workload out over the course of the year, but still complete the program in under two years.
