California Nursing Schools - RN to MSN Programs
The RN to MSN programs are designed for registered nurses with an associate degree, nursing diploma, or BSN that are looking to earn their Master's of Science in Nursing and advance their career. Certain RN to MSN programs allow registered nurses with an ADN to earn both a BSN and an MSN in a shorter amount of time than if they were pursued separately. Other RN to MSN degree programs in California require that you have already completed your baccalaureate education before enrolling.
There are relatively few RN to MSN programs offered online or at Campuses in California. This is the most updated information we have found with regards to nursing schools offering the RN to MSN option.
