Leavenworth, Kan. (PRWEB) October 22, 2007 -- Beginning this January, registered nurses seeking to further their careers by earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (BSN) can do so via a new personalized and expedient online degree program at University of Saint Mary (USM).
"There is a growing need for baccalaureate-prepared nurses and our online degree program allows busy, working RNs to conveniently pursue their bachelor's degrees," said Dr. Karen Fernegel, USM Dean of Nursing. "The BSN degree paves the way for nurses to continue advancing their careers and professional standing."
Designed and taught by nursing experts, the online RN to BSN degree program can be completed in as little as 18 months and requires no on-campus visits. University of Saint Mary is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
The online BSN program has five enrollment periods per year. Admission requirements include completion of the online admission application as well as submission of a copy of a valid RN license in the U.S., all official transcripts, a personal statement of goals, and two letters of recommendation attesting to professional and academic performance.
USM boasts a long history of providing affordable, superior quality higher education. Nursing, in particular, has been a cornerstone mission of the school since 1923. The Princeton Review has repeatedly recognized USM, ranking it as a "Best Midwestern College" in 2006, 2007, and 2008, and as one of "America's Best Value Colleges" for 2007 and 2008.
