An RN-to-BSN program allows an existing nurse with an associate's degree to attain baccalaureate education in nursing. RN-to-BSN programs are particularly appealing as employers increasingly preference registered nurses (RNs) with a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree in their hiring decisions.
RN-to-BSN programs appeal to registered nurses looking to acquire both theoretical and practical knowledge. The courses in an RN-to-BSN program focus on a wide range of topics, including child healthcare, geriatric healthcare, leadership and management skills, and legal and ethical issues in healthcare.
The average registered nurse in Georgia earns $59,000 to $65,000 annually, depending on the city. RNs in the state’s top pay quartile earn even more: $71,450 or more per year. These top earners are primarily the state’s BSN-educated nurses.
