Hospitals in Mississippi are adjusting their hiring standards based on this data. Pursuing an RN to BSN or BSN completion program is a logical career development step for any registered nurse with an community college nursing degree or diploma. Registered nurses can earn their RN to BSN online, allowing them to continue working in their current position while advancing their career.

Common career paths for registered nurses who have earned their RN to BSN include health care educators, faculty at nursing schools, Master’s programs, charge nurse and many other opportunities.
