Associate degree-prepared nurses know that attaining a bachelor’s degree in nursing is critical for career advancement. Nurses understand that finishing a BSN from St. Kate's — with its reputation for quality and values-based learning — is essential for standing out, leading change, and improving health outcomes.

Interested in Continuing on to a Graduate Degree?

After finishing your BSN at St. Kate's, we invite you to continue to a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) or Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree, with practice-focused doctorate options including Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, Pediatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. 

Qualified RN-BSN students can also get a head start on their MSN or DNP degree by taking graduate-level courses while still enrolled as a BSN student.
