I have not looked at Regis but i will. Cost is a big factor for me because it will be coming out of my pocket and i have other expenses to deal with so i am looking for a program that is cheap, accredited and i can complete my BSN in 12-18 months. Preferably, 12 months. I have tons of credits and i have looked at some schools that are asking for the one course that i havent taken. Sometimes, i think they make it harder for you to return to school. I have been an RN for 19 yrs and one school wanted me to take biology. They didnt care that i had A & P-they wanted biology. I said "next" . There are plenty of choices when it comes to RN to BSN programs-you just have to find the right fit.

I have been going through this thread, investigating options for ADN-BSN. I have to look at affordability as well as accredidation (sp). If I am reading this correctly, UOP, the total for BSN through Phoenix is 46,200.00?

120 credits X 385.00 per credit

The RN to BSN program is not 120 credits. That's just how much you need to graduate............this is including all the credits they transfer in from your ADN program. It looks like there are 48 "upper division" credit hours to take.

Mind you UoP is one of the more expensive of the bunch.

I wanted to extend my thanks to everyone on this forum, because I took every post and researched every school that was written to come up with the school I did. The program is 2.5 years, but I only have 2 years to do since I've done chemistry, statistics and an elective already. I don't have a bachelors degree in anything, so I needed a school that had the general education classes online as well. Working nights and being mom to a 20 month old, this worked the best for me. I can't wait to start! So, again- thanks to you all and I'll keep you all updated on how my journey goes. I long ago bookmarked this page and plan to visit often for inspiration!

How was the statistics on line(for someone who is math challenged???) That requirement is what is keeping me from getting BSN thru EC.

I took it online and it was relatively easy. The books were pretty self-explanatory. I'm pretty good at math though.

SUNY (State University of New York) at Stonybrook. I'm enrolled now and it's all online RN - BSN. No clinicals. Must be licensed in the state in which you practice without restrictions. Can also be a GN, but must be licensed without restrictions within 6 months of program start...

Does anyone know if statistics and chemistry is required at UWYO or T.EDISON. And if they would accept CLEP or DSST? I am considering those two if I don't end up with Excelsior ADN to BSN.(EC because of the price).Has anyone tested out of STATISTICS with EC or DSST????Thanks!

I'm thinking about doing the RN to BSN through U of Phoenix. How were they on busy work? I did a few credits through Florida Hospital College but tired of the 'projects'. I'm currently a working RN and I'm out in the community every day. Don't need to get together with people and do projects. Looking for program consisting of: read the material, take the test, and write a paper or two. No keeping journals, no making powerpoint presentations, no interviewing managers and coworkers. Time is precious!

And thanks for your time if you answer my question!
