Returning to school, whether it's been months or years, can feel daunting for working professionals. For many registered nurses, earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) online offers a practical way to advance their education while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette's online RN to BSN program combines flexible scheduling with high-quality instruction. 

Alumna Stephanie Jacobs, a single mom working two nursing jobs, knows firsthand how flexible the program can be. In 2016, her home flooded unexpectedly, forcing her to step away from school temporarily. She re-enrolled two years later and completed her degree while managing work and family responsibilities. 

“I just made sure to take it one class at a time,” she says. “I know that furthering my education is going to come in handy no matter what.” 

Instructors guide discussions, provide feedback through video conferencing, and foster meaningful online interactions, helping students connect with both the material and their professors. 

Some courses also focus on leadership and management skills, preparing nurses for advanced roles. 

Our accredited online RN to BSN program is an ideal option for working nurses who wish to advance their education. Flexible scheduling, experienced instructors, and a variety of courses create a rich learning environment for online students.
