BSN degree holders are paid more than registered nurses; they get better jobs and have more knowledge in their field. However registered nurses are usually already employed when they decide to improve their education and get their BSN and so an online degree is a practical solution. RNs can work while getting their BSN in their spare time with the flexible schedule of an online education. Here are some of the top ranking nursing programs online (in random order).
