Nurses across the country are finding themselves in the unique position to be some of the most in demand professionals despite the economy. Many nurses are utilizing online schools to further their career by earning their Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing, or BSN. Baker College has thus launched an online degree program so nurses can earn their BSN.

The Internet arm of Baker College plans to launch a baccalaureate degree in nursing that’s designed for working nurses who want to return to school to earn their four-year degree.

By launching the Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing program online, the college wants to make it easier for nurses to receive lessons when it’s convenient and they can work them in around their schedule.

“It’s one more opportunity to actually go to school when they want,” Baker Online President Julia Teahen said. “It’s so the student can obtain the education when it’s convenient for them, not necessarily when it’s convenient for the institution.”

Baker Online started the BSN program based on demand from licensed, working nurses who already hold a two-year degree — particularly Baker College alumni — and want to return to school to earn their BSN, Teahen said.

Earning your BSN degree online can give you the opportunity to earn your degree on a schedule that is flexible, allowing time for work and family. This is an ideal program for those who already have a four year nursing degree to further their careers.
