BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing)

A Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is a college degree that prepares individuals to become registered nurses (RNs). It combines classroom learning, hands-on clinical experience, and leadership training to develop skills in patient care, health assessment, and medical knowledge. BSN programs often include studies in anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and healthcare systems. Graduates are qualified to work in hospitals, clinics, and community health settings, and they can pursue advanced roles or further education. Earning a BSN typically takes about four years and is widely recognized as the standard qualification for professional nursing practice.
