\u201cGeared toward professional registered nurses striving for management roles in hospitals and healthcare settings, the online RN-to-BSN program through Delta State University has a leadership focus,\u201d write the assessors, a Carlsbad, Calif.-based advocacy group of registered nurses. \u201cCourses in the top-rated program are scheduled in a flexible format so they are achievable and within reach for working nurses. Students are permitted to take clinicals at settings that are near their home or work for added convenience. The RN-to-BSN includes a management practicum so students gain practical leadership experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to have received this recognition again,\u201d said Vicki Bingham, dean of Delta State\u2019s School of Nursing. \u201cThe faculty and staff of the Robert E. Smith School of Nursing work diligently to provide registered nurses who are seeking the baccalaureate degree an education that will enhance their current careers and offer opportunities for them to advance their practice in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
