Welcome back to Paging the Tea, the podcast where nursing students get the real story on nursing school.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what a full-time BSN program looks like — from lectures and labs to clinical rotations and NCLEX prep. If you're considering nursing school and want a structured path to becoming an RN, this is the episode for you.

We’ll cover what to expect, how BSN programs prepare you for your first job, and why many hospitals prefer BSN-prepared nurses. Plus, we’ll talk about tools, labs, and the kind of support that helps nursing students succeed.

Discover the step-by-step path to becoming a registered nurse, from enrolling in a BRN-approved, CCNE-accredited BSN nursing program to completing clinicals, graduating, and passing the NCLEX-RN. Learn how nursing school prepares you for licensure, career growth, and making a difference in healthcare.
