An MSN bridge pathway is designed for registered nurses who do not currently have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree, but have a bachelor’s degree in another field. A bridge pathway consists of pre-requisite courses that prepare students for admission into an a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program. Intended as an accelerated pathway to complete an MSN, the coursework helps students bridge the gap between being an RN and becoming an MSN-prepared nurse.
