\u201cWe are proud that Elizabethtown College is able to offer a flexible nursing program to work to address the national need for qualified nurses,\u201d Elizabethtown College President Betty Rider said. \u201cThis next step in earning national accreditation by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Educate is an important one which demonstrates the exceptional quality of our program and of our faculty.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the American Nurses Association, in 2022, there is far more registered nurse jobs available than any other profession, at more than 100,000 jobs per year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur program is designed to be flexible for practicing nurses to move at their own pace to earn a bachelor\u2019s degree, and most importantly we offer a supportive, motivating learning environment for our students,” Elizabethtown College Director of the RN to BSN Program Lisa Homa said.<\/p>\n

As the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is becoming the standard entry-level degree for registered nurses, Etown\u2019s RN to BSN program was created for licensed registered nurses who have an associate\u2019s degree or nursing diploma (ADN). The program is 100-percent online and contains five-weeks of accelerated classes with flexible\u00a0step-in, and step-out options to meet the needs of practicing nurses.<\/p>\n

Officially recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a national accreditation agency, the\u00a0CCNE<\/a>\u00a0is an autonomous accrediting agency that contributes to the improvement of the public\u2019s health.
