"In recent years, nursing has seen higher education standards," BHD editors explain; "in fact, many hospitals are making a BSN a minimum requirement for new hires." Because of these increasing standards, "many students who know they are dedicated to becoming nurses will choose to go straight through a full 4-year program from the very beginning." The advantages are clear, including "including stronger job market presence and more experiential learning opportunities." With the ability to take on leadership roles, specialize in different areas, and earn a higher pay, the BSN is hardly optional anymore.

Of course, as BHD editors note, "Many nurses seeking their BSN are already working as registered nurses with a diploma or an associate's degree, and for those professionals, online bachelor's completion programs are often the best choice." Today, the choice between an on-campus or online program is simply one of meeting the students' needs. According to the editors, "many reputable universities offer online nursing programs accredited in the same way as their traditional programs." With no sacrifice in quality, the choice comes down to which advantages are more beneficial in each student's situation: the convenience and flexibility of online, or the mentorship and hands-on learning of traditional.

Best Health Degrees provides current information that aspiring healthcare professionals need to explore their health care career options; to learn what skills and training are required; to find what salary they can expect to make; and to get an edge in landing the best jobs. BHD also ranks traditional and online programs that prepare students for in-demand jobs like nursing, health informatics, health care administration, and more.
