I actually already have 4 English classes from when I was planning on getting my BSN straight from high school. So, the English requirements for UTA doesn't bother me. (I actually was accepted into UTA back in 1991, but couldn't come up with the funds.)

I now have finished General Chemistry 1411 with an A, and hoping I won't have to take 1412 or Organic in the future.

Now I need to think about taking Statistics....which I'm not looking forward to! lol

For UTA's RN-BSN, I only have to take Nutrition, Statistics, the second half of History & the second half of Govt. ...Four more classes, and I will be ready to go for my RN-BSN.....after getting my RN.

UTMB requires only one semester of any chemistry as long as it includes a lab.
Shop around before enrolling. I looked into UT Arlington when I lived in Dallas but was turned off by the considerably heavy number of prereq's required just to get in. College algebra, speech, 3 English classes (the standard is two and that's plenty of paper writing), no way.
Keep looking.

All of your remaining pre-req's can be taken through VCT online no matter where you live. No one looks forward to statistics but every program requires it.
Most schools do not require more than one semester of chemistry so don't sweat that. There are way too many schools, in TX alone, that offer BSN degrees without all of that extra chemistry being required. If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time and money on all of those chemistry classes unless you already have your heart set on a school that requires it.

Anyone done EC's BSN program? How was it? Is the HAPE as stressful as the CPNE? How are the online courses? Is the HAPE the only clinical exam or is there another one?

Thanks for you responses in advance.

Hi and welcome to AllNurses.com.

Try doing a search for Excelsior because I think I've seen some other threads about it. (Although I'm not sure about your particular question.)

Stick around, and good luck to you! :hatparty:

I liked their program. Easy to figure out what is required. Straight forward but I don't see anywhere that they talk about online learning. Are you sure that they have online distance courses?? Will have to check into that.

Do you think that online classes are more time consuming than traditional classes? Do you find IWU to be a good experience? What do you like about it? What do you dislike??

I am currently enrolled at St. Petersburg College BSN program and the in-state tuition is around $78.oo. Out-of-state is more, of course, but check out the site @ spcollege.edu The ASN-BSN program is 18 months. Also, check out University of South Florida here in Tampa. They have a ASN-MSN fast track program. Hope this helps.
I have just completed the first semester (3 consecutive classes about 5.5 weeks each) and I am looking forward to January's semester already. Supposedly, St. Petersburg has been voted #1 on-line school (in some catagory), and #2 in another. The on-line program is user friendly, and yes, they do give extra work to on-line students. We are required to log on 5 out of 7 days and make posts to discussion forums, etc. I just joined this site and I feel like I am right at home!!

Welcome! I was accepted to SPC and have some financial regrets for not going there. But I didn't think working nights I could to the extras like finding a family and going to clinics and what not. SPC is indeed an excellent school with an excellent local reputation. Now that I'm working day shift, I see it's perfectly doable and the best bargain for a BSN I've ever heard of.
