RN to BSN online

I am very interested in SRU. I have an RN and two Masters degrees, BUT no BSN. I am thinking it would behove me to get one. I think SRU does not require Chemistry which I did not need, 20 years ago and don't want to go back and take it now.

The SRU brochure does not mention prerequisites. Are there any?

The brochure also states that nurses with a Bachelor's in another field only have to take 39 credits. I would be on board with that. I wonder if any of my previous courses would minimize the requirement.

Thoughts?

Thanks, Kevin

Hi all. I am considering Chamberlain College of Nursing online RN-BSN program. The question I have is: although they are accredited by the NLNAC and CCNE, the Bachelor's degree programs have received provisional approval from the Ohio Board of Regents and conditional approval from the Ohio Board of Nursing. These words provisional and conditional scare me. What exactly does that mean? I also read on another post that in order to be a BSN program with accreditation, a clinical component was required! I intend to call my BON (Ohio) but thought maybe you all could give me some insight or advice. Thanks.

I'm in Chamberlain's online BSN program. You have to have an unrestricted RN license for admission to the program, so taking the NCLEX isn't an issue with this program. PM me if you want further information.

I am just finishing up my ADN in April and will be unable to take the NCLEX until the end of April (due to the administration processing paperwork). Ideally, I would like to start a 12 month online ADN to BSN program by early June. It would be very helpful if I could find a program that does not have any clinical hours as I will be working full time. I plan to continue on to a CRNA program in 2 1/2 years so the program must be NLN accredited. Does anyone have suggestions as to what schools I should look into and the cost?

I decided to go with the Utica College online BSN program... the health assessment clinical is completed via webcam.. Taken 2 classes so far & they've been great. I started Fall 08 and will be grad Dec 09... depends on other credits you have earned but they seem pretty fair w transfer credits. Cost is $315 per credit hr and degree is actually conferred thru Syracuse University for the undergrad programs.

Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences.

I agree that the RN to BSN program at the Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences is definately worth a look. SACS & NLN accreditated and priced in the lesser third of programs out there.

Wow! What a great, but LONG thread!!!!!

I've been a nurse for 4 years- I'm working per diem right now while my kids are small so I want to get my bsn while I have the time! You guys have a lot of great info! I'm in Maine and was considering UMFK and St Joseph's but now I'm considering IWU and UoW. Thanks for all of the great info!

OK, maybe someone has some ideas for me!!!!

i'm looking for an rn to BSN program online - ideally without a clinical component, that is fast. i dont want to be doing it for 2 years or so.

anyone have any ideas or suggestions??

Hi Mskate,
Chamberlain College of Nursing has an online program that does not require a clinical component. They accept many transfer credits, and, depending on how many gen ed credits you need, you could complete the program in 12-18 months. Unfortunately for me, remains the algebra component. I am thinking I may have to take a class at the local community college. Hope this helps you!
