Absolutely!
We have a specially designed "Career Ladder" program designed specifically for those who have already had their RN training and are looking to get their RN Bachelors degree in nursing. This program is different than our second degree program, which is designed for those who have little to no nursing experience looking to jump start their nursing education online.
More details about the RN to BSN San Diego program are located on our website at http://ounursing.com, but to give you some quick information, this is a program that is designed to get your bachelor of science nursing degree in as little as nine months. The coursework and bookwork just the same as our second degree program in that it is online, but the clinical portion is not as heavy, and therefore it allows a quicker time frame to be a BSN nurse.
Why is it important to get your bachelor of science nursing degree if you are already an RN? In today's healthcare, many healthcare facilities are looking for those who have achieved their BSN in their nurse career, much in due part to the expanded possibilities BSN nurses offer to those facilities, including the ability to move into management and administrative positions, as well as there being several studies done to show the effectiveness of those who have achieved their bachelor of science nursing degree (including patient mortality rates and other key statistics). Basically, it makes those who are already have had nursing education make themselves more marketable and also is favored by healthcare providers.
The University of Oklahoma College of Nursing Program normally has 2 starts for our Online RN program San Diego cohort, which is generally Spring and Fall. If you are an RN and are looking to further your nursing education as well as additional nurse training, we may have just what you are looking for!
