Careers
A degree in nursing opens the door to one of the fastest growing and most-in-demand career fields. Research shows the value of nurses with bachelor’s degrees (BSN), and many hospitals are hiring with a goal of having all BSN nurses. Many of Southwestern’s graduates are in leadership and management positions, nursing education, or specialty areas. Many others enter graduate programs and become nurse practitioners, midwives, or nurse anesthetists. BSN graduates have greater opportunities for career advancement and expanded access to over 100 specialty nursing roles.
