I'll PM you. I'd rather not post it here. That's is one disadvantage of not being there in person is the like of quick feedback. But I think traditional students have the same type of red tape mess too.

I am starting an ADN program Fall 2006. I already have a previous BA. The local BSN programs would not finsih in time for me to attend due to SO being in the military. We will have to move in 2 years. Anyway, I would like to go directly into an RN-BSN online program after I finish my ADN. I have been looking at several of the programs and wanted to take some of the extra classes during my summers. I did find WVU that only requires statistics if you already have a bachelors. All other gen ed courses are waived. University of Wisconsin is similar except there are two other courses besides statistics. I also looked at Jacksonville University. I really like the way the program is set up am considering taking the extra co-req's to do this program. I am considering this b/c the program seems to have a good reputation. I plan to go on for my CRNA possibly in the future. What are your opinions about these schools. Is JU worth taking the extra courses or is WVU just as good? What do you think?

Does anyone have feedback on the new Walden University program? You can go straight from your RN 2-year degree to an MSN and bypass the BSN along the way. I estimate the tuition (RN to MSN without a BSN) to be about 21K.

Consider that you may be able to test out of statistics. CLEP and DANTES exams can help accelerate getting the core education requirements out of the way.

I just completed my BSN online through Indiana Wesleyan University. There is no residency requirement and I did my clinicals close to home with no problems. I can't say enough good things about this program and am starting my Master's through there in October, 2006. Just go to the Indiana Wesleyan University site and getting the necessary information is quite easy. Good luck

Wow, this thread sure has become very long and hopefully has been helpful to all of the prospective BSN students who are following it. As for me, I have decided to go with Thomas Edison State College for my BSN. Anyone else consider this program? Actually, It would be great if previous posters to this thread could let us know what college they ultimately decided on.

BTW, I went with TESC because the courses are completely online (very, very important to me) and the tuition is not too terribly expensive.

I ended up choosing U of Wyoming. Cost was a big factor. Also, I was able to start after my first year of the ADN program. I should be done about six months after getting my RN. One course does require a local preceptor (COmmunity Health), but I don't think it will be difficult for me to find a placement.

Hi! I am a new user and wanted to say I was glad to find this thread. I just graduated from a diploma program, but am looking for an online RN to BSN to start in January. I want to be portable, so online is a must. And of course I want something without too many extra classes - and I refuse to take chemistry! I can pass it with no problem - I just hate it! My boyfriend can confirm it gives me narcolepsy. : ) I wish I hadn't resold my book from the time I started to take it - I could use it when I can't sleep!

I have found a few good places to look here - and keep them coming!

I wanted to mention UNC Chapel Hill has a program. It costs I think about $7k total. Unfortunately, they need the chemistry. Another good school that's an option (if you take chemistry) is ODU. That's Old Dominion University.
