Distance/Online LPN or ADN program


Ok everyone I need help!!! I am searching without much luck for an online nursing degree. I do not have my lpn degree. I would love to go through excelsior or some pleace like that.

I have found mostly lpn-rn online degrees. I looked at deaconess.edu which is now chamberlain, because i heard they had an online lpn degree. However it wouldnt let me request info because it said as of right now they are not accepting students that arent OH residents. I am from Evansville IN. I don't know if this is still true??? Also I am pretty sure Excelsior only accepts students that have their LPN or have completed 50% of their clinical work, which I have done neither.

I work in a hospital as a PCA, I would have absolutely no problem arranging local clinicals. I have a couple nurses on my floor that have said they'd be more than willing to give me "on the job training" so that i wouldn't miss anything by going to school online. I also did got my CNA training/clinicals at a local CC. The CC has about a 3 year wait for both the lpn/ADn program. I feel so frustrated as i feel like there are just no options. I want to be a nurse sooo badly, but i don't want to have wait forever. I took my CNa class online so i do well with online classes. We did meet all meet weekly for clinicals though, but the majority of it was online.

Anyhow I'd appreciate ANY info on any online nursing degree.

Default Re: Distance/Online LPN or ADN program
You probably just need to buckle down and start taking prerequisite courses at your community college. You can do some of these courses online for convenience. The sooner you start, the sooner you will be in nursing school. If you don't have to worry about the cost, you could go to an LPN program at one of the proprietary schools. Then you could enter an LPN to RN bridge program, but you would still need certain prerequisite courses, such as English 101. So best to get started now.
