Hello ..I am also looking to get started on RN-BSN, I need some help with trying to figure out where to go..Can you all give me some guidance ?
I don't like group work or powerpoints. I hate papers but know that they are a huge part of this, I would prefer tests and quizzes. I like online and prefer the fast track..5 week courses sound great to me.....NO more clinicals.
I crossed Excelsior College off of my list d/t the Exams at the end...
UOP I believe have the groups and powerpoints..my friend went there and not everyone in the group does their part...forget that....

You guys give great advice..I would love to hear what you think......

Please help as I am struggling with this.....

Thanks,
Pammy RN

You cannot get a BSN without taking writing intensive courses and powerpoints. It is part of the process, higher education just does not come that easy...

Nurse Re: RN to BSN online
I just enrolled in South University. I haven't started a class yet, so I can't really say to much. I was enrolled in University of Dundee. It is just writing papers, which I pretty good at. Unfortunately, they kept changing the way they wanted it writen-I never could get clear cut directions from them. I am now having a very tough time with them transferring my student loan-they are saying they "used it all". I did not complete one module with them. I expect to pay for that one, but that is all. Just be very careful.

South has 5 1/2 week classes-all online-No clinicals. The advisor I am working with is very helpful-she is helping me battle Dundee.

IF you want her name and emai-PM me.

Sorry to hear Dundee didn't work out. That was sounding interesting.
Let us know how your new program goes for you.

It's NLN approved.

Hi Tweety: I also saw on another thread that you wished you considered St. Pete College online for your bsn. Have you heard anything else about SPC? Anyone else doing SPC? I'm considering them, can I do clinicals in my area, 1 hr. north of Tampa?

I've noticed that many RN-BSN programs require you to have one full year of nursing experience. I've only been a nurse for 3 months. Are there any schools that don't require the 1 yr experience for their online program?
