In the field of nursing, a bachelor’s degree education is essential. A 2020 AACN survey of healthcare organizations found that more than 41% of hospitals and facilities require RNs to have a BSN. Why? Studies show that when a higher percentage of nurses have a bachelor’s degree, patient outcomes are higher. With Franklin University’s BS Nursing program, you can improve patient care while accelerating your career. Our RN to BSN online program can help you strengthen your clinical and leadership skills.

Our accelerated program, made up of nine six-week online courses, fits your life and schedule, allowing you to quickly earn your online RN to BSN degree.
