Nurses looking to upgrade their education now have a new online option at Eastern Michigan University.  

 
Eastern is offering an online accelerated RN to BSN program which includes an 8 week format for nurses who want to earn their bachelor of science in nursing degree.  
 
Michael Williams is the director of the nursing school at Eastern. 
 
"All of the applicants for this program must have a registered nurses license from one of the states in the US and have received their initial education with a diploma or associates degree."
 
Williams says area hospitals are giving preferential hiring to nurses with a higher education degree such as a bachelors' degree.
