Online BSN (Pre-Licensure) programs for working RNs

Tuition varies widely by school, residency status, and transfer credit, and published sticker price rarely matches what you pay — employer tuition assistance and graduate aid change the real number. ScrubScope does not publish an estimated figure; confirm current tuition directly with each accredited school before you inquire.

Most BSN (Pre-Licensure) programs take 4 years (traditional pre-licensure track), depending on transfer credit and whether you study part or full time. Part-time pathways, which most working RNs choose, sit at the longer end of that range.

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Completed prerequisite coursework in the sciences (school-specific)
• Minimum cumulative GPA set by the program
• Standardized admission test where required (school-specific)

Graduates are eligible to sit the NCLEX-RN for initial registered-nurse licensure.
