Get Your RN-BSN in as Little as 12 Months for $330 Per Credit Hour, Both Full- And Part-Time!
As a registered nurse, you already have an incredible impact on the lives of your patients and their families. Nurses form the backbone of support for hospitals, clinics, and other clinical health service organizations by ministering to people when they are at their most vulnerable.
Are you not yet a Registered Nurse (RN)? You might be interested in one of our on-campus BSN tracks, designed to help you obtain your RN license. We offer an accelerated BSN for those who already hold a bachelor’s degree, as well as a standard BSN program.
And as the push for BSN-educated nurses continues in hospitals across the country, Liberty University’s 100% online RN-to-BSN program can help you get your bachelor’s degree in nursing while remaining active in your job, with your family, and in your community — without the worry of taking courses on campus.
- Earning your BSN will give you the skills and knowledge you need to help improve patient outcomes and meet the growing need for nurses who are trained to shape the future of healthcare.
- If you want to go further faster, our RN-BSN-MSN program allows you to earn both your BSN and MSN degrees in as little as 24 months. Streamlining these programs means less coursework and overall savings for you.
- As a licensed RN, you can transfer in at least 39 hours toward your degree program.
- Liberty’s academically excellent, flexible, and affordable RN-to-BSN programs make it possible for busy nursing professionals like you to earn your degree while staying connected to your family, community, and career.
