About | Courses | Faculty | Print
If you are a registered nurse who’s ready for the next step to a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree, you are eligible for the RN-BSN program at Upper Iowa University. A BSN can prepare you for leadership in the rapidly changing health care environment. If you are licensed as a Registered Nurse, you can complete your bachelor’s degree at UIU through a combination of in-class and online classes. Some courses include clinical components.
UIU also has articulation agreements with many U.S. colleges and universities, which simplifies your transition into this program, which is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and the North Central Association, and approved by the Iowa Board of Nursing.
The demand for skilled nurses continues to increase. If you are interested in working with people and improving society, then you will find a career in nursing satisfying. A bachelor’s degree in nursing can take you in many directions: clinical practice in a hospital or physician setting, community health, health management, consulting, traveling nurse, military service, or home care.
