New, flexible 100% online program addresses New York’s nursing workforce needs, offering a CCNE-accredited pathway for registered nurses to comply with state law, further their careers, and improve patient care.

BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bryant & Stratton College has announced the launch of its fully online RN to BS Degree in Nursing in New York. Designed for busy nurses, the program provides the flexibility to advance their education without pausing their careers, while helping to strengthen New York’s healthcare workforce and enhance patient care.

Addressing New York’s Critical Workforce Needs

The program addresses two pressing state priorities: compliance with New York’s “BSN in 10” law, and helping to alleviate the state’s critical nursing workforce shortage which is projected to reach a shortage of nearly 40,000 nursing professionals by 2030. New York’s “BSN in 10” law requires RNs with associate degrees to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing within 10 years of licensure. Nurses who earn their RN to BS Degree in Nursing are not only in compliance with state law but may have more opportunities in advanced nursing roles and increased earning potential.

Built for Working Professionals

The program offers a flexible structure with six start dates throughout the year and is delivered 100% online. Students have 24/7 access to lectures and assignments and the opportunity to complete the program in just three semesters, depending on transfer credits. The comprehensive curriculum blends traditional clinical skills with leadership, communication, and management training that prepares nurses for career advancement within and beyond the clinical setting.

“Designed for today’s busy associate degree prepared registered nurses, our online RN-BS program is an exciting opportunity. With flexible scheduling and the chance to build a personalized support network, the program makes it easier to balance work, life, and school. More than just earning a degree, our graduates are equipped to expand their influence in patient care and leadership, creating a meaningful impact both individually and across the healthcare system,” said Dr. Michele Distler, Online RN-BS Program Director at Bryant & Stratton College.
