Re: RN to BSN online
Lucie, I'm still not done, but I am on my last class finally. I took a 16-week option for this last class because I'm tired.
I had co-req classes like Stats, Chemistry, and Western Civ. to take. Plus they require two religion courses.
They dropped the shadowing a manager portion and asked us to interview to nursing leaders instead, which was managable. Clinical hours were given mainly through teaching, and performing and in-depth head to toe assessment and shadowing a nurse practioner or MD doing assessments.
Overall my experience has been positive. As long as you follow instructions to a tee they give you good grades. I've made all A's and one A minus and have something like a 3.97 average.
If I had it to do over, I would choose my local community college which has an NLN approved program, a little more clinicals (they have to do 24 hours with a manager, and their community health and family nursing have clinicals as well, which is why I didn't choose them as I was working nights at the time), but less co-reqs and I would be done by now. They are also cheaper. They also are only $77/credit hour as opposed to over $200.00. I'm not sure they take non-locals, but it's Saint Petersburg College here in Saint Pete.
