My internship experience provided a hands-on one-on-one learning experience I would not have gotten in any other setting. My preceptor made sure I was present to perform tasks that would be in my scope of practice. It gave me an extra boost of confidence and helped me feel ready to step into nursing. I am truly grateful for the experience.

A BSN stands for Bachelor of Science in Nursing. It’s an education many hospitals require from their nurses to help them receive Magnet status as a healthcare organization of excellence. At Bryant & Stratton College, we offer a BSN Generalist program to help you gain the practical clinical skills and evidence-based instruction you need for life-long nursing success.
As with most bachelor’s degree programs, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) takes around four years to complete. At Bryant & Stratton College, our Generalist BSN program offers 125-credit-hours of instruction over eight semesters to provide the experience, credential and insights you need to take and pass the NCLEX-RN for your Registered Nurse (RN) designation.
No. You can earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing before taking the NCLEX-RN exam and gaining the Registered Nurse (RN) designation. In fact, the Generalist BSN program at Bryant & Stratton College covers the gamut of healthcare and nursing essentials you’ll be tested on in the NCLEX-RN.
Not everyone who earns a Bachelor of Science in Nursing becomes a Registered Nurse (RN) or even pursues a nursing career. Some professionals turn their skills to a career in the research and development arm of pharmacy industry or in other laboratory settings.
