The RN to BSN can be completed in as little as 16 months with prior nursing credit applied through articulation agreements. Hawaii has a school to school articulation model and the school you choose will have to evaluate the ADN or diploma credits you had earned*. Potential students can learn more about how many of their credits will apply toward articulation by contacting the schools listed below. An RN to MSN program in Hawaii may also be of interest.
