RN-BSN/MSN
As a registered nurse, you understand that the future of healthcare needs nurses with advanced degrees to help healthcare organizations adapt to change and continue to provide exceptional care to patients and their families. Broaden your opportunities as a registered nurse and prepare for the future of nursing today with an online RN-BSN/MSN degree from Thomas Edison State University (TESU).
Our self-paced, accredited BSN program can be completed in as little as 18 months. To remain active, you must complete at least three (3) credits at TESU in 12 months. You can also earn maximum credit for prior learning and up to 63 credits in course equivalencies may be applied when you pass the NCLEX-RN exam. TESU offers an affordable and accelerated path toward earning your degree with our various credit-earning options — saving you time and money. Learn more about our RN-BSN Program advantages.
To meet your needs as a busy registered nurse, our open and rolling admissions program offers the flexibility to start your degree at your convenience. Our class sizes are kept small and are offered during eight (8) week sessions. We also provide four (4) one-week breaks throughout the year.

Many of our clinical partners have notified us that all students must be fully vaccinated, including full vaccination for COVID-19, to participate in any clinical or practicum experience in their facilities. If you cannot show proof that you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least 30 days prior to starting your clinical activities, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to find appropriate clinical placement and successfully complete your program of study.
Conditional Acceptance allows nursing students to start taking their BSN courses at the W. Cary School of Nursing and Health Professions while awaiting their NCLEX-RN results. Learn more
