The RN-BSN Completion pathway provides the opportunity for licensed nurses to obtain a BSN in a friendly and flexible online environment. It is designed to meet the needs of adult students who have employment or perhaps family commitments.
The program is project-based to encourage meaningful learning and immediate application of new knowledge and eliminate busy work that may or may not contribute to learning.
You will complete eight online baccalaureate nursing courses taught via Heidelberg faculty; two of which include a convenient clinical component. Courses are engaging through online activities that include, but are not limited to, in-depth discussions, intraprofessional and interprofessional collaboration, pandemics and global health, and correspondence with local and national lawmakers to influence change that affects healthcare and the nursing profession.
Heidelberg’s RN to BSN program reignited my professionalism and passion for nursing. The online platform gave me the flexibility I needed to accomplish my goals as a working professional Registered Nurse. Heidelberg’s nursing program gave me both a professional and personal boost in confidence: after thirty-plus years I have no more fears. I am grateful for the doors that have opened as a result of this experience and the relationships built along the way.”
