BSN Nursing Degree

You can become a Registered Nurse (RN) without a bachelor’s degree, but BSN-trained nurses have broader, higher-paying career options. For many career nurses, the extra step is well worth it, especially for the employment opportunities it can provide.

An RN is a license, and a BSN is a degree. To become a licensed RN, the first step is to enroll in a pre-licensure nursing program. Some programs lead to an associate degree and some to a BSN degree. An Associate’s Degree in Nursing (ADN) can be obtained in about two years, while a BSN degree often requires three or four years of study. This is because a BSN degree equips nurses with the tools and experience necessary to advance their careers.

BSN program costs can be influenced by several factors, such as your goals and finances. At Provo College, there are various financial aid options available. Please contact a school representative for more information.

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Program prepares graduates to sit for the NCLEX-RN licensure exam and practice as Registered Nurses. Employment settings include but are not limited to: long-term care, acute care, complex and critical care, school nursing, home health, and community health nursing. In addition, graduates are prepared for leadership and management positions.

Nurses with BSN degrees usually receive higher salaries than associate’s degree graduates. Statistics from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) revealed that the average salary of an RN was $66,620, while the average salary for a BSN holder was $75,484.
