RN to BSN online

I am doing Pathophysiology now from Excelsior. How are the exams?

I'm in the minority here. Price wasn't the only consideration that I looked at when deciding to return for my BSN. After spending months looking at online programs, I narrowed down my choices to Rush and to DCN...I guess my midwestern education played a part in those final 2 choices. I chose DCN...and have been very happy with my decision. I hope to eventually complete my MSN in acute care AND nursing education, which is another reason that I chose DCN...ease of transfer into a MSN program.

So how are the exams?

I wouldn't say you're in the minority. All things being equal, price was a consideration, but not the only one.

Several things went into play when I picked an RN to BSN program. Things I thought about were, what are the clinicals like, how long are the classes, what are the co-reqs - i.e. do I need chemistry with a lab, is it NLN accredited.

Finally when price was a consideration. I figure why pay more for another program that is equal or less in meeting my standards. I actually chose a more expensive program over the cheaper (much cheaper) local online version of RN to BSN because they have more clinical hours in community health, family nursing and leadership than the program I choose. I was working night shift at the time I made my decision and figured paying more for the freedom of not having clnicals was worth it.

Has any one attended University of South Queensland in Australia? They have an online RN to BSN and MSN program and I wanted to know if anyone has had personal experience with them.

So there are no clinicals? How do they handle final exams? Do i need to find a local proctor? I have completed most of my application just need a few questions answered before i submit the completed application. OOPs guess i should have written that i was asking about the U of P.
Thanks Jeanne

Before you pay an astronomical amout for U of P....check out:

This is a program for RN to BSN or MSN in Australia, University of South Queensland. I researched over twenty online programs in the USA and other countries including England. This is by far the best program. They have the fewest requirements, are fully accredited and they are the cheapest. I just enrolled today. They seem very easy to work with. I know an RN who got her BSN and MSN thru them and she was thrilled with them.

I forgot to add.....University was going to end up costing me over $40,000.00 just for my BSN. USQ is only $9,000.00. It is a no-brainer for me.

That last one should have read "University of Phoenix"

Florida Hospital College of Health Science? Has anyone done there online program? I would love to hear the good/bad info. I am currently looking into several different options and this one seems somewhat affordable. Thanks in advance!
