I was wondering if anyone did their LPN program online, how was it if you did and does anyone know what schools in south florida offer an online program.

No LPN program is totally online. Online programs still require a clinical portion that must be completed in the area of the school or in the area where the student lives.

You need to attend clinical placements and skills labs so a nursing program cannot be done all online.You may be able to complete some prerequisites online.

I saw one a few months ago in CA but unsure if they still offer it. Institue of Medical Education in San Jose had a portion of it online but I don't know how the program went. Or if its still being offered.

I have found this to be the case, as well. With my schedule and finances, nursing school is near impossible. I check into this quite frequently, as taking this online would solve that.

What I found is that the only programs are all over-priced 'national for-profit college chain' LPN to RN bridges. From what I have read, you still have to do clinical or fly out to a out of state `place to do clinical.

Be careful as some of these 'for profit chain branch' private colleges have horrible reputations in other fields. I do know of one guy with a AA in IT from ITT who is still washing dishes and has a 50 K loan! Since LPN/RN is an actual license, a worthless degree does not matter as much. Regular LPN floor jobs they seem to care more about that and experience, not where the degree is from in medical as much. Although, I would be very peeved if I wanted a BS or MS and had to start all over again because no one would take my credits later on.

Prereqs for RN could be done.. (College Algebra, A+P. etc.) Any Community College would be cheaper, though.

Sad, too. A program like that would help many CNAs. Some of us MUST work.

Specializes in too many specialities to list.

I've been looking as well. I have 8 years as a CMA and I want to continue on to an RN. I work for a hospital that has already agreed to sign off on all my clinicals. I just need the "classroom" portion, and online. I can't stop working full time, and I can't go to school full time as I have family/kids. Online classes and it being my own responsibility to finish clincals would be the perfect set up for me. It's been very frustrating to not find any options. My husband and I have been discussing an trying to figure something out where I would not have to take all the brick and mortar classes in an actual building. That would take me at least 4 times as long to complete. I am totally willing to go with LPN and bridge to RN, or just go straight as an RN. I am just shocked in this day and age there is no option out there for me. I know I'm not alone. If you guys know anything that would help, or could point me in the right direction I would extremely grateful.
