Hey,

Do you have clinicals in RN-to BSN program? I thought it is just a number of theoretical classes. I am looking at Tampa bay and Orlando schools (my first choice is SPC). How hard is it to get into the program?

Valencia Community College and Seminole Community College do NOT offer RN to BSN programs...most cc's don't.

Specializes in Cardiac/Med Surg.

Miami Dade College, was a 2 year college so if you had 75% bright futures you get 100% and books too i think

BCC, i don't know but I think Keiser college also

Miami Dade College offers an RN-BSN program but it is not online

Broward College will have an RN-BSN program soon but it is not offered yet.

Keiser Univesity has an RN-BSN too....

but why consider former community colleges such as miami dade, when you could easily go to a state university?

USF in Tampa and FGCU in Ft Myers both have online RN-BSN, RN-MSN with the bridge option and BSN-MSN, I'm looking at USF most likely.

FGCU will no longer be offering the bridge program

Specializes in Med/Surg, ICU, ER, Peds ER-CPEN.

I had heard they had some issues with people completing the bridge and being successful with the NP portion and becoming licensed vs. the MSN-NP track, maybe the bridge was more hassle than it was worth for them. I know my ex-sil dropped out of the RN-MSN bridge twice for ridiculous reasons. Maybe that's why my former program directed tried to steer us all towards anyone other than FGCU?

Florida Hospital College's RN to BSN is totally online- you don't ever have to visit Orlando (unless you want to visit Mickey, of coorifice! :D):

As long as you have your RN, its not that hard to get in. Here is their admissions info: http://onlinenursing.fhchs.edu/online-rn-bsn/

Is UCF online hard to get into?

I spoke to a admission Nursing Person

she asked me why don't you go to some place closer to where you live

Like I was a big brother to her and I got the same response from FSU!

I think I will try USF online and RN to MSN or RN to PHD!

I like the FIU program where you take the EC Exams and challenge three of them and get your BSN with all the Prereqs completed of course.

I am looking into Program

It a toss up between them and UCF and USF. The FIU looks good but to far for me to travel once a month. I know USF has there act together with all MSN programs and UCF also.

The lady at UCF basically told me if you apply, you should get in.
