What You’ll Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Brookline College offer a BSN program near me?

Aspiring BSN Nursing students are welcome to enroll at our campuses in Arizona or New Mexico:

What is an RN?

Registered Nurses (RNs) are healthcare professionals who care for patients, communicate with doctors, and administer medications.

What’s the difference between an RN and a BSN?

An RN is a license, and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is a degree. To become a licensed RN, you must enroll in a pre-licensure nursing program. Some programs lead to an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and some to a BSN degree. You can earn an ADN degree in about two years, while a BSN degree may require three to four years of study. These additional years of study will provide you the knowledge and experience to advance your nursing career.

How much do Registered Nurses make?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average salary for Registered Nurses is about $98,430 per year.

Please note that wage data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) or other third-party sources may not be an accurate reflection of all areas of the country, may not account for the employees’ years of experience, and may not reflect the wages or outlook of entry-level employees, such as graduates of our program. (accessed on 5/20/2025)

What certifications will this program prepare me for?
