Sooooo........because of all the info.......I've been looking at St Petersburg in Tampa......wondering if that may be a better alternative to TE.......what do you think? 
Do you have a link to the TE site with the MSN program info? I am trying to find it but am having no luck.
As far as the St Petersburg program, I have not looked at that one so I can't give an opinion. I will check it out though.
Let me know if you have that link.
Thanks

If you're coming to St. Petersburg, consider St. Pete College. You can take their program online and it's very cheap and charges community college prices, if you're a Florida resident, which I'm not sure how long it takes to establish residency. I regret not going there because of the cost. There is a clinical component to it in community health and family health, so you have to be local. I was working nights at the time and that was a big turnoff to me. Most of the people I've talked to that do it, say it's no big deal at all and fun. http://www.spcollege.edu/bachelors/nursing_main.php
University of South Tampa in Florida has an RN to BSN program that is not online.

Re: RN to BSN online
Hi. I am also checking into the various colleges that some of you mentioned in the previous posts. I have a question regarding online testing, are you able to take your exams via computer at home or do you have to go to a library and obtain a proctor. I spoke with Thomas Edison college & they told me all testing is done either at your local college or a library. They said that often you have to pay the proctor for taking an exam. I was hoping after working (shift work), that I was able to take quizes and exams via my lap-top or correspondence text, and not have to leave home.
Thanks for any info.

I don't think there are any exams for the BSN courses. It is all papers, research, etc. so it still may work for you. I would contact someone from the nursing department just to be sure.
Good Luck

Re: RN to BSN online
In my program there are indeed quizzes, not just papers. Not many, but a few, especially in the co-req courses I've had to take like Western Civ. and Relgion. We just take them on our computer at home. It's usually timed so you pretty much have to know your stuff, but the good thing is you can have your material and notes handy to look up stuff you might not know. Having to find and pay a proctor kind of defeats the convience of online schooling. I hope that it's not many times you have to do this.

Thanks so much Tweety! I agree regarding paying a proctor, defeats the online convience. According to Thomas Edison college, you do have to find a proctor for testing, so I am scratching out that school. I did look at your school and the Iwu website. I would perfer 5-6 week classes to get the courses over with faster. Some colleges I looked at for my bachelors just had 12 week classes.

Hi Lizzie,
If you are talking about supporting classes for the BSN then you would need a proctor. If you are talking about the BSN courses you do not need a proctor because there are no quizzes or exams. Points are earned through discussions and papers, etc.
Good Luck

Hi Mona. What college are you referring to that you don't need a proctor? I talked to lady in admissions at Thomas Edison & she told me that I would need a proctor for any exams. I told her that I already had my associates in science and that I was an RN. Are you currently taking classes online towards your bachelors in nursing at Thomas Edison?
Thanks!

The nursing courses that I have previewed do not have any exams or quizzes posted in the syllabus. Here is a link to preview the courses. http://www.tesc.edu/catalog/course.p...e=NUR-340&sem=
When you select that link it will open another page and ask you to sign in. Don't sign in, instead choose the preview button and go from there.
I would definitely talk to someone in the nursing admission office. Heck, I could even be wrong  |
