Advance your nursing career with a Bachelor's degree


Earn your BSN degree through a qualified nursing program

Many colleges offer qualified nursing degree programs. Take advantage of current nursing job opportunities

Ohio is a great place to become a registered nurse. Presently, there are more than 30 universities in this state that currently offer BSN classes, some of which can be completed online while the student continues their regular work schedule. For those already licensed as a registered nurse, RN to BSN classes offer an opportunity for students to increase their understanding and talents they already have as an RN and allow them to position themselves for additional job opportunities.

An significant part of the BSN coursework is having an open timetable, with the possibility for virtual training. The RN-BSN programs move quickly, so this double duty season will not last long; the entire program can be completed within a years’ time. This quicker pace is made possible by the “Nursing Acceleration Challenge Exams”, which do an assessment of familiarity in the nursing procedures and services, medicinal and operating procedures and understanding, pediatrics, psychological health and neonatal care. Fundamentally, they assess the current understanding and abilities of an RN to be able to permit them to transfer to an advanced level program founded on previously learned facts in both work and previous schooling. This permits presently employed RN’s to familiarize specific programs to their distinct needs and wishes.

In Ohio, a GPA of 2.5 is a precondition and previous nursing classes are characteristically mandatory to get accepted into a BSN study program. Nevertheless, as admission is competitive, this may still not be enough to get into the program of your choice. Fundamentals should be principally satisfied by preceding education throughout and along with classes in proper English, mathematics, and statistics information, and several optional classes in the subsequent areas of humanities, communications, lab, science and social/behavioral sciences. Once fundamentals are finished and enrollment is achieved, pupils take classes in investigative studies, management, domestic and public health, public duty and higher level electives ranging anywhere from terrorism to any non-related courses in one of many fields of study. This will allow a nurse to develop further understanding of such subjects.

The state of Ohio has a tough grading scale on nursing students. All nursing classes and electives require the lowest grades to be at a C average or better. A student who goes on to graduate from a BSN program should enjoy a wide variety of career opportunities to choose from. Students with a BSN can go into public or private nursing and take on roles as nurse educator and nursing management positions.
