Online RN to BSN Program

Expedite your professional growth 

The online RN to BSN format gives you the flexibility to advance your credentials while balancing your career as a busy working nurse. Fisher’s courses are accessible 24/7, so you are free to increase your knowledge and skills at your own pace.

CCNE-Accredited RN to BSN Program

Fisher College’s RN to BSN program is accredited by the Commission of Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). This recognition ensures that our program maintains high standards of quality, professional development, and up-to-date content and practices.

Gain invaluable experience

Through Fisher’s accelerated RN to BSN program, you acquire practical skills and develop your professional resumé in order to advance your career and expand your opportunities after graduating.

Building on the foundation of your existing RN knowledge and skills, you study more in-depth areas like informatics and information literacy, healthcare economics, research, population-based health, and leadership. These competencies empower you to contribute to improved clinical practice outcomes and new care-delivery methodologies and to study at the graduate level.

You may transfer up to 90 credits for the 120-credit accelerated RN to BSN. Of the transferred credits, 36 from your RN licensure, along with up to 36 general education credits.

Practice Experiences

There are small practice-related experiences in healthcare settings embedded into the program. 

The healthcare industry increasingly seeks RNs who hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The BSN provides more thorough training, stronger clinical knowledge, and more varied professional experience—all elements highly valued in healthcare settings. 

Advancing to a bachelor’s degree also enhances your earning potential.
