Build on Your Education With Baker’s ADN to BSN Program
About
If you are an RN who holds an ADN and are ready to pursue your BSN, then this Baker University program is designed just for you.
We designed this program for RNs to allow you to advance your career in less time—and with lower costs.
At Baker, we recognize that family responsibilities, work schedules, and geographic limitations can make it difficult for working nurses to pursue education. We don’t think those hurdles should be insurmountable, so we developed our online ADN to BSN program to meet the needs of nontraditional students. All coursework is done online, and your leadership capstone is completed in your community so you can earn your degree where you live and work.
The same caring faculty who lead our BSN and MSN programs also teach our ADN to BSN program coursework. You’ll be surrounded by other students and professors who share your passion for nursing.
Baker’s academic advising team acts as your partner as you earn a BSN. We’ll help you plan your courses so you can efficiently continue your education and earn a bachelor’s degree.
Are you ready to take your national certification exam? Prepare by taking a 15-week course designed specifically for nurses planning to take one of the tests.
