Most people picture a hospital when they think of nurses. While working in a hospital can be exciting and rewarding, nurses have many options beyond typical healthcare environments. For example, the government relies on nurses to develop guidelines for nursing standards of practice, and forensic nurses assist in criminal prosecution cases.

To advance one's career and open such exciting paths, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree is essential. By earning a BSN, nurses can also be considered for increased income opportunities with career advancement potential. A BSN degree can offer a registered nurse a competitive advantage in today's ever changing healthcare industry.

Chamberlain College of Nursing's BSN degree program at its new, state-of-the-art St. Louis campus in Maryland Heights can be completed in three years of year-round study instead of the typical four years with summers off, allowing students to begin working and earning a salary sooner than their peers at other higher education institutions. Registered nurses can enroll in Chamberlain's Fast-Track RN to BSN Online Degree Completion Program, earning a BSN degree in as few as three semesters. Chamberlain also offers an online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program to develop nurse executives and educators who can motivate and inspire the next generation of nurses.
