RN to BSN: avoiding the pitfalls.
The RN who returns to school has unique characteristics that must be considered if the educational experience is to be positive. The stress an RN feels when returning to school can be addressed by using a combined approach that involves faculty and student working together. Rather than a "tacked on" experience in order to fulfill degree requirements, the experience can be challenging and exciting and provide the RN the opportunity to grow personally and professionally.
