Athabasca University

I am in my 2nd year of the RPN program, but I now realize I would like to be an RN. Now that a degree is required to get your RN Ontario does not offer a RPN-RN bridging program... but there is a distance ed university (Athabasca) in Alberta that offers a bridging program. Although all the theory can be completed from here the clinical must be done in Alberta.. so I would have to go there to do that, which is offered in blocks for 1 or 2 months at a time. I have looked into it and talked to someone from the university.. I was just hoping someone that has done it could give me some insight as to how they found it!
Thanks!
