Abstract: Although nurses entering RN-BSN programs often perceive that earning the BSN will be of little benefit, upon completion, they do believe they have made professional gains, demonstrating that they have experienced a change in perspective. Mezirow’s theory of perspective transformation can guide educators to develop learning activities that allow RN-BSN students to find meaning in the BSN degree while enrolled in a program, rather than after the program has been completed. Examples of learning activities and student reflections are provided.
