According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, nurse employers value graduates of accelerated nursing programs because of the layers of skills and education these graduates bring to the workplace. An accelerated B.S.N. program builds upon the expertise you’ve already learned in your previous bachelor’s program, so that when you’re ready to enter the workforce, you’ve got even more to offer your employer. Additionally, studies have shown that bachelor’s-prepared R.N.’s have better health outcomes than those patients cared for by associate degree-prepared nurses.
