(RN to BSN / RN–BSN)

The IU South Bend School of Nursing RN–BSN degree is a program for Registered Nurses (RN) continuing their education. The BSN degree strives to involve the RN’s talents, experiences, and expertise in the curriculum. As such, the curriculum prepares an RN generalist in professional nursing and serves as the basis for graduate studies. The purpose of the bachelor’s degree program is to offer a creative curriculum for the education of professional nurses competent in meeting the current and future health needs of society.

The nursing curriculum is in an all online format through the statewide RN–BSN consortium. The consortium provides a variety of courses and faculty while the IU South Bend campus provides personal advising and support. Please see the website for additional information https://rntobsn.iu.edu/.
