BSN

BSN is an acronym that can refer to more than one topic. The two most common meanings are a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and the Blockchain Services Network, a Chinese government–backed blockchain infrastructure initiative. The term may also be used by other organizations or in different contexts.

Bachelor of Science in Nursing

A Bachelor of Science in Nursing is an undergraduate degree that prepares students for professional nursing practice. Typical programs last about four years in many countries and combine coursework in the sciences, liberal arts, and clinical nursing. In the United States and several other jurisdictions, completing a BSN is a common pathway to eligibility for licensure as a registered nurse, often through a national licensure examination. The degree emphasizes clinical skills, patient care, and evidence-based practice, and it can lead to opportunities in leadership, education, or specialized nursing roles. Some regions also offer accelerated or online BSN options for students with prior degrees or credentials.

Blockchain Services Network

The Blockchain Services Network is a global infrastructure project initiated with government and industry involvement to support blockchain application development. It aims to provide a unified platform for deploying and operating blockchain services across cloud environments, with a focus on interoperability and reduced entry costs for developers. BSN organizations promote cross-chain compatibility, multi-cloud deployment, and standardized services to streamline building decentralized applications. The project reflects broader national and international interests in advancing blockchain technology while addressing governance, security, and regulatory considerations.

Other uses

BSN can stand for terms or organizations not covered above, depending on regional or professional context.
