Limitless Opportunities in Nursing
As one of the most exciting professions and affording limitless opportunities, nursing is an exceptional choice for anyone who has the desire to help others. With work available in hospitals, nursing homes, and private practices, a skilled nurse can find immense satisfaction and a secure income in a field that allows your compassion and patience to flourish. With today’s aging Baby Boomer population, there is more room than ever for qualified caretakers.
An Easily Accessible Online RN to BSN Program
Getting an online RN to BSN degree is ideal for those of you who cannot afford the time or expense of an all-encompassing campus experience. Because it is so easily accessible, these online degree programs are perfect choices for working people, as well as for someone who wishes to expand his or her skills and knowledge.
FNU makes it a point to be extra attentive to our online students to ensure they have the resources needed to succeed. This includes online materials and access to faculty in digital and real-world spaces if extra guidance is needed.
Doing Your Coursework at Home
With no waiting list to join and no traveling required, you don’t have to take any time off from your regular schedule to study and receive your degree. Our virtual classes can be attended at any time that is convenient for you, with the basic coursework done wherever it is most comfortable.
Understanding how valuable remote working is to students who need time for family or work, we make it as convenient as possible to accomplish coursework without the need for additional software or programs. Where you are connected, readings and assignments will be available to complete.
An Innovative Approach to Online Learning
At Florida National University, we pride ourselves on our approach to online learning. All of our courses are comprised of interactive sessions using multimedia teaching materials, all of which are provided online. Our cutting-edge practices ensure that you are taught by professionals currently working in the field, and who are completely up-to-date on the most advanced protocols in the industry.
A Way to Explore and Discover
Online learning can sometimes feel isolated when you might be a person who loves human interaction.
Besides a regular course list, you also get the benefit of email contact with your teachers and peers. Using message boards, discussion groups, chats, video conferencing and more, you will have interaction that is stimulating and informative, providing an exchange of ideas, answers to questions, and an exciting forum in which to explore and discover.
Students in the past have even arranged their own in-person study groups with those who are local. Going to a local library to do coursework as a means of simulating the experience when you need that extra motivation on your own is also an option. Check out some of our coordinated study groups at our main campus in Hialeah too.
Becoming an Exceptional Professional
Our goal at FNU is to produce nurses who will make a difference in patient care. With complete access to our online library and resources at all times, you have the chance to become an exceptional professional. Here are some of the types of courses we offer in service to obtaining your online nursing degree:
- The basics for receiving your RN license, applicable both for the novice as well as a practical or vocational nurse (LPN/LVN) wishing to move ahead in your career.
- A Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (BSN), which assists you in becoming a registered nurse (RN).
- RN to BSN courses, which serve to put you on a faster track if you already have a Nursing License or Associate Degree.

Job Placement and Prospects

The Bureau of Labor Statistics states the median annual wage for registered nurses was $71,730 in May 2018. Employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 15 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Growth will occur for a number of reasons, including an increased emphasis on preventive care; growing rates of chronic conditions, such as diabetes and obesity; and demand for healthcare services from the baby-boom population, as they live longer and more active lives.
