RN to BSN online

Hi,
I am still trying to figure out which school to attend. I want the convience of online though, I like study groups. I do not like group projects. How is your schooling going for you so far? Would you reccommend this program or is it too soon to tell? I live in Ca BTW.

Hey everyone --

I'm in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and I'm trying to figure out where to go for my BSN. I really like the idea of an online school, but could use some more information.

Have you heard of any problems like people not getting hired with BSN degrees from online programs at accredited schools? I know in the early days of UoP, it wasn't really respected. Do companies look at these online degrees the same as a degree from a B&M school?

Of the online programs, right now I'm looking at UW and the one Tweety is going to. Cheap is good. Another consideration is that I do not have to take Chemistry in my 2 year program. Does anyone know of a 4 year that doesn't require it?

Thanks in advance for any information!

I can't see where it would make a difference in being hired, as most positions do not require a BSN anyway (recruiters tend to look at a BSN as an "extra" unless the position is for management). As Tweety said earlier, there is no designation on the diploma from any school that I am aware of that a degree was earned online. That said, in all my years of experience, I have never once had anyone ask to see my diploma. As far as online degrees being looked at the same as a degree from a B&M school, most online degrees ARE degrees from B&M schools that happen to offer an online option.

I'm a bit confused. I am from the Philippines and currently going to attend a college here offering a BSN Nursing degree. Although, i'm hoping to be a registered nurse after graduating. Is BSN different from RN? please reply.. thanks good day to you all!
