Advancements in healthcare have ushered in a new wave of career opportunities. At the same time, more and more providers are seeking nurses with advanced education, specifically, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN). Recognizing this trend, the American Nurses Association has set a goal for 2020 that 80% of all nurses hold a BSN.*
A recent report commissioned by the Institute of Medicine states that today’s patients are older, sicker, and suffering from more chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it suggests, there is a greater need for highly-educated and skilled nurses capable of critical thinking and evidence-based practice.

ECPI University Online has designed a program to provide working nurses the opportunity to develop the critical knowledge, skills, and perspective required to assume greater levels of responsibility in the field of nursing. Faculty and staff at ECPI University recognize that a student’s time, energy, and career are of utmost importance. Caring faculty members are highly-accessible and web-cam technology allows for critical one-on-one attention and assessments.
ECPI University’s innovative online program provides convenience without compromise. Using best practices in online teaching and learning, the faculty has designed a state of the art program, designed to prepare graduates for roles in leadership and management.
Taking the RN-BSN program at a slower pace allows students to continue their education while fulfilling their family and work responsibilities which many find quite appealing.
Students take a five-week orientation course where they learn how to be a successful online student, resources used in BSN courses, APA format and the policies of the program.
