An ASN is the minimum degree necessary to practice as a registered nurse. Labouré's program prepares you to earn your RN credentials in just two years, preparing you for entry-level roles.
The ASN curriculum includes arts and sciences courses online, professional courses and hands-on labs on campus, and clinical hours at local hospitals and health centers throughout Greater Boston.
If you're a licensed practical nurse, Labouré's accelerated LPN to RN track helps you become a registered nurse in half the time of our ASN program while learning online, on-campus, and at clinical sites. You can earn transfer credit for professional coursework done in your LPN so you can take fewer classes at Labouré. Many students finish their degree in a year or less.
A bachelor's degree can open doors to more job opportunities in nursing, and at a higher salary. In fact, many hospitals now require a BSN for you to be considered for a job. Labouré's RN to BSN program is designed for working nurses. It's 100% online, flexible and affordable. With seven-week courses and start dates throughout the year, you can finish on your schedule in about 16 months.
Employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 7 percent from 2019 to 2029 (BLS)
