Find Which Nursing Program Is Right for You
The first factor is whether you’re a licensed nurse or not. If you aren’t a licensed nurse, our Practical Nursing Diploma, Professional Nursing Associate’s degree (ADN) or accelerated Bachelor’s degree in Nursing (BSN) would offer the support you need to launch your career. Next step: attend a Nursing Information Session.
If you already have your license as a practical or registered nurse, our LPN to RN Bridge and online RN to BSN can help you reach your next goal faster.
Once you have your BSN, you can set your eyes on graduate programs. Expand your nursing knowledge and make a lasting impression on the nursing field with your online MSN degree. Choose from three specializations to expand your RN scope in education, leadership and technology. Or, pursue advanced practice with your online MSN-NP program with the choice of four specializations. The online DNP is for nurses called to lead at the highest level of healthcare.
Ready for a new specialty or another level of leadership? Post-Graduate Nursing Certificates are perfect for nurses with their MSN or DNP looking to expand their skills.
Be Inspired to Pursue Your Nursing Future
As a single mom working full time, Crissy saw a future in nursing as an opportunity to improve their lives and pursue her full potential.
“I want [my son] to come out of this as not only being proud of me as his mother, but also knowing that the impossible is possible for him.”
Speaker 1:
I'm a single mom of a four-year-old, I'm working a full-time job, I have to go back into the Navy, I'm on a timeline.
Rasmussen made it so, ‘Hey, yes, we can do this. We have a program that you can accelerate and if you put in the work, we're going to be there on the other side for you.’
I've done this for my son. I want him to come out of this as not only being proud of me as his mother, but also knowing that the impossible is possible.
