RN-to-BSN

[CatsDomino]

I'm a BSN working on my MHA and did my BSN right after my RN due to a 2+2 agreement in place between the program I attended at my local community college and a state university. This is fairly common where I live with RN programs leading directly to the last two years of a BSN program, with many of those being offered online. I don't know of any BSN programs that allow alternative credits due to the type of work you do and licensing standards. I do know that my hospital and many others have incentives such as paying for tuition/fees/books for RNs to get their BSN - this is how I was able to get mine. If they haven't already, your relative should check with their employer to find out if there are educational benefits available and how to take advantage of that. It may not save them time, but it could save them lots of money. My hospital is paying 100% for my MHA as part of my benefits just like they paid for my BSN.
