California Online RN Bridge Programs

Entry-level registered nurses (RNs) do not have to hold a Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN). They can have an associate degree in nursing or a diploma in nursing. However, the Bachelor of Science in nursing allows registered nurses to have more responsibility and to be promoted faster. Many schools in California offer RN to BSN bridge programs, but only a few have approval from the California Board of Nursing to offer the bridge program online.
