WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A BSN?

A Bachelor of Science in Nursing does more than enhance your clinical skills—it can lead to better pay, leadership opportunities and roles beyond bedside care. With a BSN, you can pursue careers in case management, public health, home health care, nursing education and administration. Many Magnet-designated hospitals now prefer or even require BSN-prepared nurses and prioritize them for advancement into leadership positions.

If you’re wondering why to get a BSN degree, the long-term career benefits speak for themselves, including:

  • Employer-recognized training and job placement
    Muskingum’s RN to BSN graduates are highly regarded by health care employers, who praise their critical thinking, clinical judgment and leadership skills. The Nursing Advisory Council, made up of health care professionals and alumni, ensures the curriculum aligns with workforce needs, helping graduates advance in their careers.
  • Higher salary potential
    Nurses with a BSN typically earn higher salaries than those with an associate degree. A BSN also qualifies you for promotions into advanced positions, including nurse manager, educator or leadership roles in health care organizations.
  • Preparation for advanced degrees
    If you’re considering graduate study, a BSN is the foundation for earning a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), Nurse Practitioner (NP) certification or Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) to specialize in advanced practice roles.
  • Improved patient outcomes
    Research shows that BSN-prepared nurses contribute to better patient outcomes, including lower mortality rates and fewer medical errors. Many hospitals aim for 80% BSN-prepared nurses to meet national health care standards and accreditation goals.

Whether you’re ready to advance in your current role or forge a new path, Muskingum offers one of the best RN to BSN programs in Ohio to grow your
skills and expand your impact in health care.
