ONLINE LEARNING INFORMATION

Creighton University’s online RN to BSN program is designed to provide the flexibility and convenience needed to continue your education at a respected nursing school known for pioneering a better way. Our web-centered approach allows you to balance your coursework with the demands of work and family. In addition to online work, you will attend as few as three weekend sessions that provide opportunities for hands-on learning, face-to-face presentations and assessments, and special seminars. While students are expected to be logging into class on a regular basis, our curriculum is mainly asynchronous with no pre-determined login times. This allows you to ‘be in class’ at times most convenient for you. The majority of practica experience will be at your own practice site allowing for further flexibility and convenience. Creighton University’s online lesson management system is provided by Angel and is called BlueLine.

Reliable Internet access with a high-speed connection is required.
