There are two bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree options at Wenatchee Valley College. BSN degrees are becoming an industry standard, and nurses with a BSN from WVC are uniquely prepared to accelerate in their careers. 

RN to BSN: 80% Online

This is a hybrid program designed for the working professional. 80% of teaching is online. The program is available through the Wenatchee campus.

The RN to BSN adds a fourth year of courses for those students who have already graduated with their associate degree in nursing (ADN). The ADN includes one year of prerequisites and two years of required nursing courses. The goal of the program is to provide opportunities for area nurses to finish their last year of education and get the bachelor’s degree that is becoming an industry standard. Application to the RN to BSN program is a great decision for several reasons:

• Flexible Learning Format: The hybrid model offers a blend of online and in-person classes, allowing you to balance your coursework and personal commitments. This flexibility can be especially beneficial for working RNs.
  
  
• Enhanced Skills and Knowledge: The program is designed to build on your existing nursing knowledge, skills and abilities, helping you advance in your career. You'll gain a deeper understanding of advanced nursing practices, leadership and evidence-based care.
• Career Advancement: Earning a BSN can open up new career opportunities and is often required for many advanced positions in nursing. It can also enhance your eligibility for management roles and specialized fields.
  
  
• Accredited Program: WVC's BSN pathway programs (LPN to BSN and RN to BSN) are fully accredited, which means it meets high educational standards and can provide a quality education recognized by employers and other educational institutions.
  
  
• Networking Opportunities: Being part of the WVC BSN program connects you with a network of professionals in the field, which can be valuable for mentorship, job placement and professional growth.
  
  
• Focus on Evidence-Based Practice: The curriculum often emphasizes evidence-based practice which is crucial for providing high-quality patient care and staying current with advancements in the field. 
  
  
• Personal and Professional Growth: The program is designed to foster both personal and professional development, helping you to become a more competent and confident nurse, with a greater ability to impact patient outcomes in a positive manner.
