Every instructor I had was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with any of my many questions. Please, if you are looking for a BSN bridge program, look no further. The cost is extremely reasonable. The education is excellent. I will always be proud to be an Oklahoma Panhandle State University alumni.

Bachelor’s Degree = More Opportunity
More Opportunity to Advance
Today a bachelor’s degree is a necessity to be competitive in the nursing field. In fact, the Institute of Medicine is recommending that 80 percent of U.S. nurses have a bachelor’s degree by 2020, and many healthcare facilities won’t hire nurses without one. By making the time now to earn your BSN, you’ll have a lifetime of opportunity in the future.
More Opportunity to Serve
Our unique, 100% online RN to BSN program will grow your knowledge and strengthen your community care and leadership abilities, opening the door to opportunities in rural healthcare settings, large hospitals, management or wherever your dreams may take you.
More Opportunity to Design Your Life
According to PayScale, nurses with a bachelor’s degree earn almost 15 percent more than those without one. Better pay means more freedom to create the lifestyle you want, whether it’s travel, charitable works, a new home or saving for your child’s education.
