Increased representation of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) prepared nurses improves health and reduces costs. Fewer rural U.S. nurses have BSN degrees compared to the national average. RN-to-BSN programs provide an opportunity to increase the number of BSN prepared rural nurses. However, the number of these programs targeting rural students is unknown. Directors of RN-to-BSN programs were surveyed regarding program characteristics and efforts to target rural learners. Using mail and online return options, the response rate was 31.3%. Only 38% of programs targeted rural RNs for recruitment. Supports for rural student recruitment and retention, including partnerships with community colleges, rural clinical placements, and online offerings were limited in number and/or scope. RN-to-BSN programs with the capacity to recruit and retain rural learners may help increase the number of BSN prepared rural nurses. Increased collaboration among stakeholders will support rural nurses in continuing their education.
