Wanted to know if anyone has completed the online RN-BSN Program? How was it recognized by your work associates?

I graduated in June of 2009, and my degree was readily accepted by employers and peers. Two years later I enrolled in an MSN program at and completed my degree in 2013. My only regret about Chamberlain is the student loan debt, it was expensive. My MSN-Ed was much more cost efective; I didn't know when I started my RN-BSN that also offers that degree. Live and learn!

They is good to know. I just feel that once I have the BSN, my other degrees will be stronger in the nursing field. How long did it take you to complete your BSN?

It took me one year. I always knew I would eventually get a BSN so I took a few courses at the community college over a couple years that cut down the time. College algebra, art history and two semesters of Spanish. A word of advice, if the statistics class is conducted as it was, learn how to use MS Excel before that class, it was all Excel based. That was the most difficult part for me. Learning statistics AND Excel at the same time.

i have a BA in organizational management and a MBA. I want to round off my ASN because in the nursing world it seems that without the BSN nothing else matters. I have had many math, stat, Econ, and accounting classes so I hope I don't need anymore. I will sure fight that one.

You have been so helpful. I appreciate the info.

You're welcome! Already having a BA should really streamline the process for you and get thru the program quickly. Good Luck!

Thanks for that info. I am at Chamberlain now. The DeVry courses are significantly harder!

It's a school with national and regional accreditation. I completed the RN-BSN in 2010, and it was recognized as a BSN by my employer, then by the Army.
