The Path to Professional Growth

An ADN provides foundational knowledge and skills, but many leading nursing roles require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree. A RIC BSN provides opportunities for increased earning potential, flexibility, autonomy, and an expanded ability to impact patients and the profession. Additionally, a BNS is generally required to apply to graduate programs, which provide paths to roles such as Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Anesthetist, Clinical Nurse Specialist, and Nurse Faculty.
