Greenville Nursing School

The Bachelor of Science Nursing (BSN) program at Arizona College of Nursing is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (https://www.aacnnursing.org). Official accreditation notification to CCNE for Greenville is submitted prior to first Semester 5 class start. All Arizona College campuses are institutionally accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES), a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accrediting agency.

Understanding the differences between a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) school in Tempe and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) school is crucial to planning your nursing career path. This because the education requirements between RNs and LPNs vary significantly. An LPN program typically takes about one to two years to complete. It is intended to prepare students for entry-level nursing roles to perform basic nursing care under the supervision of registered nurse (RNs) and physicians.

Registered Nurses in SC have a median nursing salary of $78,380 per year.

As you will be newly entering the workforce, it’s important to know that you will likely not start at the median rate but would likely increase your earnings with experience.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that Registered Nurses in SC range from a low rate of $60,780, per year, to the highest-paid Nurses earning as much as $98,980 per year for their nursing salary.

In South Carolina, you may retake NCLEX-RN with a waiting period of forty-five days between attempts to pass successfully. Those unable to pass within a year must provide evidence of remediation before retesting. Additionally, graduates who haven’t passed within three years must enroll in an approved nursing program to requalify.

A nursing assistant provides basic patient care and support, such as helping with daily activities and monitoring vital signs, under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN). An RN, on the other hand, typically has more advanced training and responsibilities, including developing and implementing patient care plans, administering medications, and performing complex medical procedures. RNs also oversee and coordinate care provided by nursing assistants and other healthcare staff.

Earning a BSN degree can open doors to more advanced roles and opportunities in the nursing field as an RN. Our BSN program in Greenville is designed to provide the comprehensive education and clinical experience to help advance your career.
