RN-BSN Pathway Overview

This upper-division nursing degree pathway is for registered nurses (RNs) wishing to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).

"I chose Cal State University of Fullerton's School of Nursing program because of the fluid transition between my ADN-RN program to BSN program. Applying and enrolling in this program after receiving my RN license was effortless with the RN-BSN advisor and staff's help and assistance. In addition, the option to be a distance student was perfect for me especially since I just began my first full-time RN job."- RN-BSN Distance Student, 2015
