We are excited about this recognition of our program.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The R.N. to B.S.N. program is an online advancement program for current registered nurses with an associate degree in nursing or a diploma in nursing. Curriculum is presented through distance education, with courses available on demand anytime. Some courses may occasionally require live or time-specific classes.<\/p>\n<p>Students complete prerequisite courses totaling 58 credits, some of which may be satisfied by an existing nursing degree. Students are admitted three times a year &#8212; in January, May and August. Required nursing coursework consists of six classes for 20 credits. Students also complete a portfolio, which accomplishes the final 11 credits.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rankings were released by
