Programs for Registered Nurses
Widener’s School of Nursing is committed to meeting the needs of registered nurses who wish to further their education at the baccalaureate and graduate level. The RN to BSN program is offered for registered nurses holding an associate’s degree or diploma who wish to pursue the bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree. The RN/MSN option of the MSN program is offered for registered nurses prepared with the associate’s degree or diploma who also hold a bachelor’s degree in another field of study.
The RN/BSN program can be completed in as little as 8 months as a full-time student or in 3 years as a part-time student. Students can enter the program in any semester—fall, spring, or summer. Courses are delivered online to enable students to maintain fulltime employment while completing the course of study. Faculty are prepared to create an outstanding online experience; students learn in a small class environment, receiving support from classmates and mentorship from faculty members.
