Hello. Why was it almost impossible to write a "passable" paper for Univ of Dundee? I also pm'd you, since I am curious about Dundee, since I recently enrolled. Thanks!

One program that I came across was with Thomas Edison State College. Does anyone have any information regarding their program? I was hoping to find someone that has first hand (or second hand ) experience with the TESC RN to BSN program as it seems to be an affordable option, which, of course, is always a bonus. From reading the catalog on their site it appears that you can use some of the EC exams to satisfy the upper level nursing courses.

The TESC program looks pretty decent but I am looking for some feedback to any online RN to BSN program. If anyone has links to what they feel is an affordable online RN/BSN program please post the link here.

Hi Mona and all interested parties-
I am in the University of Wyoming online RN-BSN program. It is $140 per hour, no residency requirement, but must maintain an active nursing license. All of the nursing classes are online but there are some classes that I will have to take elsewhere to finish. (I think I need one art course.) There is a clinical at the end of the program but it is in your own geographical area. I have sent an email to a friend who just completed it, to request more details on that aspect of the program.

I am amazed that UOW tuition is so low. How do you like the program so far?

Good luck!

I just graduated with a degree in public relations & advertising, and really don't enjoy what i'm doing. I originally started to obtain some of my pre-med reqs, but ran into a lot of personal and family issues that distracted me, which also caused a good bit of damage to my GPA...(2.5).
I've obtained both general biologies, one general chem class, and only went as far as college algebra with my current b.a. I was wondering if i chose the ADN to BSN online route, how long would it take me to complete the program, or to atleast start working as an RN with an a.d.? Also, If I ever wanted to go as far as trying to get admitted to CRNA school, would I have a chance with an online degree? I know I would have to greatly improve my GPA, atleast for the last 60 hrs to even be considered.
I'm 24 now and had to work fulltime to fund myself w/ out loans on my first degree. Just looking for any advice that might be helpful, before i consider completely switching directions.

The "quickest" route would probably be at a private college as opposed to a community college for the ADN-at least out here in California. The private college would be expensive and the community college easier on your wallet where you might have to wait awhile to get accepted due to impacted programs (Many qualified applicants and few instructors to teach them.) You still would need to complete Anatomy & Physiology and Microbiology, before you could submit your packet for the ADN program at a community college (and possibly other "hoops"). I was accepted at the private school I attended and then completed the General Biology, A & P, Microbiology before starting the Nursing track of my ADN. I started in January 2004 and graduated April 2006.Best wishes in your Nursing education and higher pursuits.
