Northwest Florida State College was named by Forbes Advisor as one of the nation’s best affordable institutions in 2024 for RN to BSN Programs.

Forbes Advisor evaluated 58 colleges, with NWFSC emerging as one of the top ten schools providing an opportunity for students to earn the degree in as little as three semesters and at a very affordable cost.

“Under the dedicated guidance of our exceptional faculty and staff, we have witnessed extraordinary growth and success, shaping a new generation of healthcare professionals,” Dr. Devin Stephenson, President of Northwest Florida State College, stated. “Our program stands as a beacon of excellence, not just in Florida but nationally, reflecting our unwavering commitment to providing top-tier education and training.”

According to Forbes Advisor, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is quickly becoming the industry standard for entry-level nursing practice, especially in hospitals. BSN graduates earn approximately $92,000 annually. Additionally, a BSN degree can equip nurses for graduate school and job advancement.

“The healthcare industry is evolving rapidly, and with it, the role of training qualified nurses becomes increasingly critical,” said Dr. Henry Mack, Vice President of Academic Affairs at Northwest Florida State College. “Thanks to our faculty and staff, our program is uniquely positioned to meet the demand while helping set new standards in nursing education.”

The NWFSC Nursing RN to BSN degree program (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) is designed for licensed registered nurses. This program provides nurses with the knowledge and skills to advance their careers to become nurse managers, case managers, hospital-based educators, and more.

The program content addresses high-demand nursing specialties, according to the college. Clinical instruction targets the specific needs of special populations, including community and family healthcare.
