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!

This is a phrase we often hear about our accelerated BSN program in San Diego. While nursing education online is generally faster than the traditional nurse training, some times the thought of being in an online nursing school from start to finish in just 14 months for our second degree accelerated nursing program can seem daunting.
And yes--it is fast! RN programs in San Diego as well as even the best online nursing schools across the country have made it so that individuals who want to have the nurse training done quickly CAN--and the fact that we offer a program that gives individuals a chance to be BSN Nurses in a little over the year--sometimes this raises question of quality or accreditation. We understand concerns about this.
First off, we are an accredited nursing program; our accreditation includes the California Board of Nursing as well as the Oklahoma Board of Nursing; we also hold a regional accreditation through the National League of Nursing. So while it may be hard to believe that the online education for nurses can be done with our program in 14 months--and for that are seeking online RN to BSN schools--we can offer this to licensed RNs in as little as 9 months!
But what about quality? You want it, you got it! The University of Oklahoma has long been regarded as one of the cutting-edge nursing programs in the country, and our average first board NCLEX pass rates for those that have gone through the program is a little over 91%--compare that to the national average of 88%!
If getting a Bachelor of Science Nursing degree from a quality, accredited nursing program is what you are seeking, we'd like for you to consider the University of Oklahoma College of Nursing Program.
