RN to BS advantageMore patient care experience. Hands-

on learning in a top-ranked hospital.

Greater exposure to a wide range

of job possibilities. a better way to

jump-start your career.

Most four-year programs require stu-

dents to complete at least two years

of classroom study before they even

begin hands-on patient care. Not so at

St. Joseph’s, where you’ll start working

with patients just a few weeks into

the semester.

That edge gives you the clinical ex-

perience employers look for and the

opportunity to test your commitment

to nursing right away. Tuition for two

years at St. Joseph’s equals one year

at a private university, so the RN to BS

Option can add up to significant cost

savings, too.
