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 Hands-on Experience

Through Fisher’s accelerated RN to BSN program, you gain hands-on experience in a variety of public and private healthcare settings, working with patients of all ages. Acquire practical skills and develop your professional résumé 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 practice, 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 should be prerequisites from your RN licensure, along with up to 36 general education credits.

Practice Experiences

Integrate your practice-related knowledge and skills through clinical experiences in healthcare settings and faculty-directed experiential learning. These opportunities prepare you to care for a variety of patients in settings like:

• School nursing
• Visiting nurse agencies
• Public health departments
• Primary care clinics and ambulatory care settings

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. Registered nurses with a BSN degree make a median annual salary of over $81,000, and the job market is reliable.
