University of Wisconsin - Green Bay BSN-LINC/National Nursing Program

University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s BSN-LINC/National Nursing Program is a high quality, nationally accredited and nurse-friendly online RN to BSN completion program. The program is designed for RN’s having Associate Degrees or Diplomas in Nursing and who recognize that BSN prepared nurses often are able to advance their careers, take on leadership roles, improve their patient care abilities, receive higher compensation and greater life satisfaction. BSN-LINC provides a flexible learning experience that fits into the life of even a full time professional with multiple responsibilities.

Online learning is convenient for the busy, working adult. This is especially true for the nursing health care professional like yourself who may be working different days or shifts from week to week. The advantage of taking “asynchronous” courses online is that you don’t need to be in a class, or even logged onto the computer, at a set time each day or week. Rather, you can work around your schedule, accessing and completing coursework at different times, even overnights or weekends. Plus, you can complete your studies from the convenience of your home computer without having to dress for school, drive to class or arrange for a babysitter!
