Our Schedules Work Around Your Work
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Eagle Gate is offered in a hybrid format. The majority of courses are offered online, so it’s perfect for working adults, full-time parents, and others who can’t attend class every day.
Why Do I Need a BSN Degree?
Nurses with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree typically receive higher salaries, coveted leadership roles, and a wider variety of jobs. A 2016 study from Nurse Journal found that, of 187,000 nursing jobs posted over a 90-day period, BSN holders were eligible for 88% of those jobs, while RNs with associate’s degrees were only eligible for 51% of them.
Can I Earn My BSN Online?
It depends on the program. Eagle Gate College offers their BSN program in a hybrid online format. The majority of these courses can be completed online, which might be a great option for working adults, full-time parents, and others who can’t attend class every day.
