Bachelor's Degree in Nursing for the
                                    Associate Degree Graduate

1. If I earn my associate degree in nursing from Shoreline, can I still get a bachelor's degree in nursing?

Moving on to obtain a bachelor's degree in nursing after attending the Shoreline Nursing Program is a smooth process. 

Programs providing bachelor's degree education for registered nurses are commonly referred to as RN-B programs. 

2. Where can I get a bachelor's degree in nursing, if I am already an RN with an associate degree?

BSN programs are available at all the colleges and universities in this state that have nursing departments.  Each program has its own specific requirements.  These are called RN-B (registered nurse-baccalaureate) programs

3. How can I find out about these RN-B programs?
