BSN Programs in Wisconsin

Wisconsin is a large state with a lot going on. There are several major breweries located in the badger state. The most notable of these is Budweiser, the world's largest beer manufacturer, which is based in Milwaukee. While you’re there, check out the Milwaukee Art Museum, home to one of the largest collections of art in the entire country. As an alternative, you can head to the Olbrich Botanical Gardens to witness 16 acres of gardens showcasing a variety of epic foliage.

Wisconsin is home to a population of 5.7 million people. The current nurse-to-resident ratio in this state is too low, leading to unfilled nursing jobs and understaffed hospitals. Nationwide trends are making this situation even worse. A large percentage of the country’s population is above the age of 55. As this older population becomes a large community of senior citizens, the demand for medical assistance will skyrocket in all states, including Wisconsin.

You can earn your Bachelor of Science in Nursing, or BSN, degree in four years in Wisconsin. With nursing demand going up, you’ll be set for a lifetime of job security. Registered nurses earn an average of $63,070 in the badger state.
