Resources For
As healthcare in the United States evolves, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing is becoming an increasingly important credential, with over 70 percent of employers strongly preferring or requiring nurses to hold a BSN. However, for nurses balancing work, family, and everything in between, the idea of returning to school can be overwhelming. That’s why Alvernia University offers a flexible RN to BSN Completion Program (Online) for working nurses who want to advance their careers on their terms.
Built for Busy Professionals
Nursing is unpredictable and demanding, with long shifts and rotating schedules. With little time for traditional, in-person classes, flexibility is a necessity. Alvernia’s RN to BSN program is designed for both recent graduates of associate or diploma nursing programs and experienced registered nurses.
The curriculum is delivered in a seven-week accelerated format that is entirely online, asynchronous, and available year-round. You can complete your coursework on your schedule, whether during a lunch break, after a night shift, or on the weekend. With interactive learning tools and instructors who are easy to reach and committed to your success, you’ll stay engaged and connected throughout the program.
Recognizing the value of your experience and education, we also offer a generous transfer credit policy, accepting up to 75 credits and allowing students to complete their degree in as little as one year. With tuition beginning at $10,000 and flexible financial support and deferment options, we are here to make your education as accessible as possible.
Explore resources available through the Office of Student Financial Services, including guidance on completing the FAFSA, setting up a tuition payment plan, and using our deferment program.
