Welcome to the Department of Nursing and Health at Benedicine
University. The health care environment is changing radically
and rapidly. Managed care, the shift to community based
care and demand for evidence based practice - each presents
a challenge to the experienced RN...and an opportunity.
The B.S.N. from Benedictine University will provide you
with the skills necessary to adapt to an environment where
the only certainty is change. Since all of our students are working professionals, our
curriculum is organized to build on and enhance those skills
you already possess.
Our RN to BSN Completion Program is:
Convenient

Glen Ellyn and the Triton College campus in River Grove.

for the working R.N. who, like yourself, is juggling multiple
life priorities
- Using an accelerated format and adult learning principles,
you can complete a B.S.N. degree in one calendar year
Affordable
