For me, the most valuable thing about the RN-BSN program was that they had a small teacher to-student ratio. When you had any questions or concerns, you got really quick feedback on those questions, which was nice. And the flexibility of it being online meant I could kind of work whenever I wanted–morning, night, weekends, whenever. The flexibility was great.
