Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) that is. Do you have a nursing degree-perhaps an associates degree, but aren't really sure what your next move should be? If you're like many other nurses you probably love what you do, right? So, how can you stay in the nursing field, but also make a career change? It's simple, earn your bachelors degree in nursing and enjoy the opportunities that will come along with that.

By earning your bachelors degree in nursing you are putting yourself in a category of nursing that will earn a higher salary, have more responsibility and be exposed to more specialized work. Below is a chart indicating the average salary, broken down by years of experience, that nurses who have their BSN make annually.

Median Salary by Years Experience - Degree: Bachelor of Science, Nursing (BSN) (United States)

Some of the job opportunities available to BSN nurses are Clinical Nurse Manager, Nursing Director, Nurse Case Manager, Emergency Room RN, Operating Room RN and Nurse Educator. Nurses who have their bachelors degree typically have more job security due to their advanced education and knowledge.

We Have Room!

Friday, December 16, 2011 by Ein Peck

With the growing desire for more nurses to obtain their Bachelor's of Science in Nursing, programs are filling up very quickly.

According to an article from the US News University Directory website, "Preliminary data from the report [completed by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing] shows that in 2011, about 51,082 qualified students were turned away from 503 entry-level bachelor's degree nursing programs."

Why are these programs filling up so quickly?

Job security.

According to the same article, which can be found here, "The report shows that students who hold bachelor's-level credentials in nursing are more than twice as likely to have a job at the time of graduation than students who earned degrees in other fields."

In case you skimmed the article and my blog (shame on you!), it states that BSN graduates are more than TWICE as likely to have a job at GRADUATION.

So this is great news right? Well, potentially. Keep in mind these programs are filling up quickly if not already overflowing.

So you ask, "Ein, how can I get my BSN with no fear of being turned away?"

I'm glad you asked. The College Network not only offers a program for LPN to BS in Nursing from Indiana State University but we also offer RN to BS in Nursing programs from Regis University and Indiana State University.

Would you like some more good news?

We have NO waiting list.

Would you like more information about how you can earn your BSN degree?

Rise In Nursing Program Enrollment Continues

Thursday, December 15, 2011 by Charles Fox

American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) reports that there was a 3.9% increase in enrollment for BS in Nursing programs this year. Since the year 2000, there has been an annual rise in nursing school enrollment. from 2009 to 2010, there was a 5.7% increase!

“With the Institute of Medicine and other leading authorities calling for significant increases in the number of nurses with baccalaureate and graduate degrees, moving to prepare a more highly educated nursing workforce has become a national priority,” said AACN President Kathleen Potempa, quoted on ModernHealthCare.com.

What does this mean to you? If you are an LPN--go for RN status! Associate prepared or Diploma RN? Think about the online BS in Nursing or the RN to MSN program! BSN Nurse? Time for the MSN! The demand for nurses continues to increase, but so do educational expectations. Research The College Network and see how we can help you to become more competitive in the ever-expanding nursing field!

Number of RNs in California Surges

Tuesday, December 13, 2011 by Charles Fox

There is an extremely high projected nursing need to account for the baby boom generation's aging and the healthcare system's expansion, and young people are increasingly stepping up to fill the gap. According to a study mentioned in an article on LATimes.com, the number of RNs aged 23-26 was at 165,000 in 2009, as compared to only 102,000 in 2002. The number is only going up, and if it continues the need for nurses may possibly be filled. California is certainly a hotbed of activity for new RNs--2002 saw only 5,300 people graduate from nursing schools in the state, whereas the 2009 number was over 11,500.

I talk to people in California on the phone all the time, and they tell me that the wait time for entrance into local nursing schools is very long. If you live in California and you want to become an RN, your options are not limited to local schools with swelling student populations. The online LPN to BSN program, offered by Indiana State University in partnership with The College Network, is a smart route to becoming a BSN Nurse that allows you to work and/or raise your family and complete your education when it is convenient for you---without the wait time!

A nurse's changing role in healthcare and needed education.

Sunday, October 9, 2011 by Tracia Fernkas

Nursing is a growing industry—that is well documented. But did you know that the demand for nurses with their Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing degree is also growing?

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) published report, The Future of Nursing in October 2010 outlined that objectives set forth in the 2010 Affordable Care Act will mean that nursing must change in order to meet the expanding responsibilities nurses face.

They also deliver the supposition that a more educated nursing workforce would be better equipped to meet the demands of an evolving health care system as nurses are required to serve as more of a primary care provider.

Additionally, the report calls for increasing the number of baccalaureate prepared nurses in the workforce to 80% by 2020. Currently 50% of nurses today have their BS in Nursing. The IOM also recommends that a health care organizations encourage their nurses who currently have an associate’s or diploma degree to enter a BSN program within five years of graduation.

Are you an RN who is contemplating moving forward to earning your BSN? Or perhaps you are an LPN/LVN who is considering obtaining your BSN? The College Network can help you in your pursuit of a lifelong dream, or the next step in your education goal. Call us today at (800) 39-LEARN to find out more about your future.

Hospitals in Ohio are looking for BSN's

Sunday, August 28, 2011 by Cory Eyler

In a recent article published in the Middletown Journal it was announced that Miami University which is one of Ohio's top nursing programs is ending its two year nursing degree programs to concentrate on four year and bachelor's degree completion programs. This is big news considering the fact that Miami University reportedly provides many nurses to surrounding hospitals such as McCullough Hyde in Oxford, Atrium Medical Center in Middletown and The Fort Hamilton Hospital.

This change is also going to impact an existing problem with waiting lists due to the limited number of NLNAC accredited universities with online nursing programs.

"The shift has implications for the region and the state’s most popular type of higher education that enrolled nearly 30,000 students in 2009, according to the most recent Ohio Board of Nursing data.

The demand for all types of nurses is expected to grow in coming years as older professionals begin to retire while new students often face waiting lists of up to two years because of a shortage of educators and clinical training sites."

The good news is that there are options for nurses in Ohio and everywhere even those with minimal nursing school prerequisites. The College Network partners with leading universities to provide nursing education programs that can be completed entirely through distance learning. Best of all, The College Networks programs are designed for busy nurses looking for flexible nursing education with no waiting lists.

Life struggles, but I made it - Gloria Martin

Thursday, April 28, 2011 by College Network

It has taken me 20 years to become a Nurse. I finished high school in 1979 and was a CNA when I graduated. My teacher encouraged me to be a nurse due to my good grades/clincial in her class past two years of school.

Nursing class was full so I entered the ORT program and graduated. I got married had three children and could not go back to school until I was divorce in 1993. I got my CNA II in 1993, and my salary increased a little. My employer was always pushing me to go back to school, but I just had to find a way to make it happen. I worked hard being a single parent, but I knew I had to go on to school.

When my oldest child graduated in 1999, she said mommy you can get into school now. I started to school in 1999-2000 and in 2004, I was being pinned as a LPN graduate. WOW!!!

I said,"I'm finish now". But, I just could not stop. I still had others pushing me to go on to be an RN. In 2008, I graduated with an Associate Degree in Nursing (RN)working full time with a new grand baby joined my family all at home with me and one in college. GOD is GOOD!!!

Now, I'm thinking about or trying to make that BSN bridge to MSN. My granddaughter is now 10-years-old and still at home with mema. I LOVE NURSING!!!!

Why I became a nurse - Allison Elmore

Monday, April 25, 2011 by College Network

Growing up I remember hearing the stories of my grandmother and her nursing career. She graduated from nursing school in 1940 and spent time as a Navy nurse.

I started nursing school back in 1996 but at that point, I still did not know that it was supposed to be my career. I went through so many life changes in a short time period, that I quit school. In 1998 my grandmother passed away from breast cancer. It was then I realized that I was supposed to be a nurse.

My path to nursing school took me the long way around. I became an EMT, and also a veterinary technician before going to nursing school. At the age of 33, I finally went to school. I attended my LPN training in Tampa, FL at Erwin Technical Center. When I told my grandfather that I was starting school he gave me a box of books that belonged to my grandmother when she was in nursing school. The note in the box said this " hopefully you won't have to buy books now".

I graduated and was licensed in 2008 with my LPN. The day I found out I passed my NCLEX, I purchased a RN NCLEX review book and started studying. Again, life takes us where we don't realize we need to be. I moved, and adopted a teenager in the process of working toward my RN. The College Network has given me the freedom to attend school from my living room on my own time. I don't have to miss family events, or plan vacations around a class schedule. I am currently working on the LPN to ADN program. My plan from there is to continue on and get my BSN, then NP. If it weren't for my grandmother, I would have not realized what I was supposed to do in life. Thank you Grammy, and I miss you everyday.

What Are Some of the Benefits of Becoming an RN?

Wednesday, March 9, 2011 by Joel Kimzey

There are many benefits of becoming an RN. Not only will an RN receive higher financial compensation than an LPN, but the nature of the work can be more interesting. RNs tend to work more closely with the physician than an LPN, so they really get a chance to see the big picture in terms of treatments.

There is a high demand for registered nurses all over the world and this is expected to grow exponentially as we make our way further into the millennium. There will be an estimated 1,000,000 open nursing positions before 2020.

In terms of career prospects, hospital management usually will only consider RNs for becoming the unit nurse, staff nurse, or head nurse. Of course, if you have a BS in Nursing you will be able to move further up than with an ADN.

If you're an LPN who would like to earn your RN or an RN who wants your BSN and/or MSN, contact The College Network at www.collegenetwork.com. A variety of degree programs that will allow you to work full time, never sit in a classroom, and earn your regionally accredited associate degree in nursing, BS in Nursing degree or MS in Nursing degree from leading universities by fitting your education around your life instead of your life around your education are available!

The Changing Landscape of Nursing Education in Pennsylvania

Saturday, December 18, 2010 by Tim Rogers

Attention Pennsylvania Nurses.

Did you see the editorial in the Harrisburg Sunday Patriot News last Sunday? A local college president laments the decline of traditional college education and suggests that colleges will need to change their methods quickly or risk losing students. He suggests that the traditional method of delivering education via brick and mortar schools is unsustainable and those in higher education must learn a new way to do business.

The College Network realized the trend almost two decades ago and created a sustainable method for delivering cost-effective education for nurses at all levels including LPN to RN, LPN to BSN, RN to BSN, and RN to MSN.

The college president suggested that remixing the processes of learning and completing a degree can reduce costs and leverage learning, but the professionals at The College Network understood the challenge and created effective degree completion programs to leverage learning long ago.

If you are an LPN thinking about completing an Associate Degree in Nursing or a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing, don’t wait another day to complete your nursing degree. Call Tim or Meredith Rogers at 814-280-0054 or 814-280-0055 and learn about our online degree completion programs for nurses in Pennsylvania.

Distance Nursing Programs: Which direction will you go?

Friday, December 17, 2010 by Tim Rogers

There are so many choices for nurses to consider in continuing their education. Should you go back to a traditional college and re-work your life to fit the college for the foreseeable future? Or should you take charge of your education by making your education fit your life for the next couple of years? How can you possibly complete the required clinical component in a traditional brick and mortar school and still hold down a job when you have to get the kids to soccer practice?

Good questions, and there are good answers. Take charge of your nurse education with online courses for nursing in accredited degree programs from major universities including Regis University, Indiana State University, and St. Joseph's College of Maine.

Which direction will you go? If you are an LPN in Pennsylvania you can begin your associate degree online today with the help of The College Network. LPN’s can start working on a BSN through our partnership with Indiana State University. RN’s can begin immediately working on a Masters Degree utilizing nursing independent study.

Which direction will you go? Take the first step in continuing your nurse education by leveraging inexpensive nursing degrees to improve your future. Contact Tim or Meredith Rogers at 814-280-0054 or 814-280-0055.

Accreditation Made Simple

Friday, December 3, 2010 by Tim Girdlestone

Nothing makes students more upset than finding out that the LPN degree they just spent $20,000-$30,000 won't transfer to the college they wish to attend.

"Why not?", they ask, "The college told me they were accredited."

I'm sure they are accredited, but they didn't tell the student what that accreditation means - and that's where many students go wrong in choosing a college. If you are not specific in asking about accreditation, you may find yourself in possession of a very expensive degree and a lot of credits that won't transfer when you are trying further your education.

I'll try to make this as simple as possible...

There are two kinds of accreditation you should ask about when you speak to a college admissions representative: the accreditation of the college itself, and the accreditation of the program you are interested in pursuing.

College Accreditation.
Most colleges are either regionally or Nationally accredited. Some are neither. National accreditation may sound better than regional, but it is not. Regional Accreditation is the "gold standard" of accreditation in the United States.

If you attend a Nationally Accredited college, your credits will most likely only transfer to another nationally accredited school (there are some regionally accredited schools that will accept your credits, but not many). Most proprietary or for-profit college are nationally accredited.

If you attend a Regionally Accredited college, your credits will most likely be accepted by any college in the US. Virtually all state colleges and community colleges are regionally accredited as well as many private and some for-profit colleges.

There are six different regional accrediting bodies in the US:

New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Commission on Institutions of Higher Education
Middle States Commission on Higher Education
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Colleges
North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, The Higher Learning Commission
Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities
Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities

To learn which schools have regional accreditation, you can visit the US Department of Education's accreditation web site.

Always remember to ask if the college is regionally accredited.

The college's accreditation doesn't generally matter when you go to sit for your NCLEX exam. It matters when you try to transfer your credits to another college. In order to sit for the NCLEX, the nursing program itself must be accredited or state-approved.

Nursing Accreditation
Like college accreditation, there are different types of nursing program accreditation.

The National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) is the most common form of national accreditation for LPN, associate degree RN and many BSN programs.

Similarly, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) provides nationwide accreditation for many Bachelor's and Master's-level nursing programs.

NLNAC or CCNE accreditation is the highest form of accreditation for nursing programs.

Some programs have neither, but are approved by their State Board of Nursing to offer degrees. If you graduate from one of these programs, you can sit for the NCLEX in your state.

What should I ask?
If you are looking for a nursing program that is nationally recognized and credits that will transfer to another college, you want to attend a college that is both regionally and NLNAC or CCNE accredited.

By the way, all of the nursing programs offered through The College Network's partner schools carry the accreditations you need.

Four Job Offers The Day Norma Finished Her MSN

Wednesday, November 17, 2010 by Joel Kimzey

Norma is an cheerful lady full of enthusiasm and passion for teaching nursing. A few years ago, Norma invited her local College Network Program Advisor to speak to her LVN graduates at her school in her rural community of Fresno, California about Indiana State University's online LPN to BSN program. While listening to The College Network's Program Advisor, she learned that The College Network has partnerships with a variety of leading universities from across the United States offering an eclectic mix of degree and certificate online programs. Upon learning that The College Network offers an online MS in Nursing program from Regis University in Denver, Colorado, she promptly enrolled.

Norma just finished all of the academic requirements and after doing so, received 4 job offers! She will attend graduation ceremonies (not required) on the campus of Regis University with her husband and daughter on 18 December 2010. She told me she wouldn't dream of missing it. Regis University has over 80 acres in Denver with the regal Rocky Mountains in the background. Regis University has been voted by U.S. News & World Report as one of America's finest schools in the West.

Helping nurses like Norma advance their careers is a very fulfilling experience for all of us at The College Network. To learn more about our degree program offerings, please contact The College Network online at www.collegenetwork.com/blog/msn or call 1-800-395-1014.

Why Are You Waiting to Earn Your Degree?

Tuesday, November 9, 2010 by Tim Girdlestone

If there is one thing I've learned in my six years as a Program Advisor it's that almost all LPNs want to further their education. I have yet to meet an LPN who wouldn't rather be an RN or a BSN.

Why, then, haven't they pursued this goal?

Every day, I hear a myriad of reasons as to why nurses don't go back to school. These include time limitations ("I'm working full time and raising a family"), availability of programs ("It's a 3-year wait to get into my local college"), and affordability ("The only school without a wait list costs $30,000-$40,000). I also hear from a lot of LPNs that they are "too old" to go back to school.

Except for the "age excuse", these are all valid obstacles to obtaining a degree. That's what I love about working for The College Network! Once I sit down with a potential student and explain that our programs are regionally accredited, have no wait list, can be completed at their own pace and are often more affordable than community colleges, they realize that a degree is within their reach and are eager to get started.

As for the "age excuse," let me tell you the story of a woman I met this year.

Rita is a 71-year-old LPN who is working two jobs and raising her young grandchild. When I first met her, even I was surprised that she wanted to continue her education. I was even more surprised to learn that she didn't just want her RN - she wants her BSN!

She had looked into various programs in her area, and none of them would work with her schedule. When she and I went over the LPN to BSN program through Indiana State University, Rita said "that's the program I've been looking for!". She was especially excited about the fact that her clinicals could be done at a variety of local hospitals, and that the cost was half of what she expected to pay for a BSN.

Needless to say, Rita is now a student at Indiana State University, and is earning her BSN.

I had to ask Rita before leaving her home why, at her age, she was pursuing a BSN. She told me that she has seen studies that show learning can help prevent many of the mental challenges facing older people (memory loss, dementia, etc.). More important, she told me, it has always been her goal to earn a Bachelor's degree, and that even if she passes on the day after earning her degree, "I will have that degree in Heaven."

If Rita can start working on her Bachelor's degree at 71 years young, what's holding you back?

The Importance of a BSN

Monday, October 25, 2010 by Lindsay Schmitt

It is becoming more and more important to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing BSN. According to Yahoo! Education, a BSN degree is considered the 5th most valuable degree based on its potential for job security.

If you're an LPN, LVN, or Associate prepared RN who has ever thought about going back to school, now is the time. The nursing shortage is expected to grow throughout the next several years, and opportunities for jobs as a BSN are nearly endless.

With The College Network and our partner universities, you can complete LPN to BSN Nursing Programs and RN to BSN Nursing Programs with little interruption in your personal and professional life. We offer you a way to earn your nursing education with no waiting list and earn your degree while working full time.

Contact us at 1-800-395-1014 to speak with someone about the options available to you today or visit us online. Our Program Advisors would love to discuss your goals and answer any questions you have about online education and The College Network.

Phone a Friend

Friday, October 22, 2010 by Rebecca Lewis

Working for The College Network's Training Department is definitely never boring! I go home at the end of each day with my head spinning from the vast that I've handled throughout the day. With so many partner schools, online training programs and educational opportunities, it never ceases to amaze me how many different topics we deal with each and every day.

"Training Week" is what we are known for here in Corporate Training, but it is really just a small portion of what we do. The majority of each day is spent researching and answering questions posed to us by The College Network Program Advisors. When a Program Advisor runs into a unique situation or doesn't know how to handle

a specific nuance of a client meeting, we are here to help. If someone wants to know the "latest and greatest" about online nursing education, they call us in Training.

Hundreds of times a month we are the people a Program Advisor reaches out to when they need an answer. During the short period of time I have been writing this blog post, I have received calls about general computer issues, if the ISU LPN-BSN program is accepted in Alaska (the answer is "yes" BTW), our partnership with The George Washington University and some basic info about our online learning environment we have for customers and Program Advisors alike.

Recently, one of our newest Program Advisors termed it best when he called. He said he was "phoning a friend" in reference to the former "lifeline" on the television show, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". It made me smile, thinking of how nervous contestants called for help with tricky situations. I like being a part of the team that does this for our Program Advisors!

Want to be a millionaire?

Wednesday, September 22, 2010 by Henry Mosley

A popular TV show has that title Who Wants to be a Millionaire and attracts a large TV audience weekly to see who will win. It is a game of chance. When you look up the definition of the word millionaire it describes it as somebody with a net worth or income more then 1 million dollars or another unit of currency. It is also described as a person of wealth, and wealth is often thought of as a person with net worth. Why am I talking about money?

The College Network is in the business of influencing a persons net worth by helping them achieve success in careers as a RN or BSN or MSN in nursing through education. The difference is nursing is not a game of chance. One of the primary roles of a nurse is to provide care and wellness to those who are sick, ill or on the way to recovery.

There is no greater net worth. The registered nurse job is the #1 occupation based on average annual salary. About $52,000+ according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

A person starting there nursing career early enough who works 20 years will earn over 1 million dollars. That is net worth without chance. There are not too many worthwhile careers that can boast that. A career as a register nurse is possible by using our online, inexpensive, courses.

Want to be a millionaire then call me today at 1/800-307-1006 ext 2604 to find out how? Ask for Hank...
