American College of Education - RN-BSN
RN to BSN
Take your RN further by earning an online Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Nurses with a BSN qualify for more jobs* and earn higher salaries** than nurses with only an associate degree. They also are in higher demand, as hospitals recognize the role of BSN nurses in achieving quality and patient-care goals. In fact, the highly respected Institute of Medicine called for 80 percent of all RNs to have a BSN.
Pursue your BSN at ACE with minimum out-of-pocket costs when you take advantage of your employer's tuition reimbursement benefits and our scholarship opportunities. With our program, you'll soon have the advanced knowledge and expanded skills that are in demand in today's global and complex healthcare system.
