Qualified Nurses are in High DemandAccording to the US Census Bureau's 2006 national salary survey, Registered Nurses (RN) can earn about $15,000 more per year than Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN). If, for example, you are an LPN with 15 years until retirement, you can earn an additional $225,000 if you invest 12 months to complete an online LPN to RN program.

Nurses who earn their degree can write their own ticket to success. Unfortunately, nursing schools are unable to keep up with the influx of new students which has resulted in either not enough space or not enough qualified teachers to keep up with the demand. To help address this challenge, some schools have developed high-quality online nursing degree programs.

Some Benefits of Online Learning
  • An online education is just as good as one obtained in a traditional classroom setting, and there are many benefits associated with it as well. For example,
  • Get awarded college credit for your LPN/LVN experience
  • Earn your LPN to BSN degree in as little as 40 credit hours
  • Earn you RN to BSN degree in as little as 30 credit hours
  • Attend class 24/7, no classrooms, local clinical, no clinical testing
  • Eliminate the ride to school and avoid traffic headaches and the time-constraints of travel
  • Create your own study schedule
  • Skip material you already know
  • Get a four-year degree in two years with an accelerated nursing degrees
  • Save money because online learning can be less expensive
  • Typically, out-of-state tuition is not charged
  • Attend a highly prestigious school from the comfort of your own home

The shortage of qualified Registered Nurses has made nursing one of the most in demand jobs for the last 10 years and that demand should not decline for the next decade. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the field to grow much faster than average.
