RN-BS
TWU’s RN-BS program is designed for registered nurses with an associate’s degree or diploma, ready to earn their bachelor’s degrees and advance their nursing career.
As a registered nurse, your experiences in a health care setting have molded you into an exceptional care taker, and you’re ready to take the next step. The RN-BS program is 100% online — allowing you to continue to work full time. Courses that require clinical components are completed through class projects and capstone projects with a preceptor.
