Okay, I know this topic has been hashed out here before, but I'm not finding any RECENT opinions/info on the subject here. I am an ASN RN who is wanting to go ahead and get my BSN online. I want it as fast and as cheap as possible with no clinicals. So does anyone have any input on this? What schools have you done? Liked? Didn't like? Why? Any advice is appreciated.

Anna Maria college in Massachusetts. Affordable and NO clinical. ..still seems like it takes a while....good luck!

Anyone else?

Don't pick no clinical bsn. It may cause problem in future

I am currently 'attending' Western Governors University's online RN-to-BSN degree completion program. I started in May 2014, and by October 2014 had completed 27 credits because the school allows students to complete their degree programs at their own paces. I now have 7 more credits to complete.

Each six-month term at WGU is $3250, whether you complete 12 credits or 50 credits. Some people have completed the BSN program in one six month term by accelerating, which means they paid about $3,500 for their BSN degree.

Where do you get this info? I have not heard that to be the case at all from those I knew doing their BSN this way. Please elaborate.

states have varying requirements on what should be offered in the program. However, once you are licensed, it may not matter. At any rate, I would ask someone at the BON to give you their impression. Sounds like you don't really want to learn anything, just get a degree, so all you really want to do is compare prices.

I am in the RN-BSN program at University of NC-Wilmington, we have no clinical. None of the programs here have clinical. We are already working. We may have to do some experience-based assignments, but no "clinical" in the sense of what was required in pre-licensure. The BSN part is supposed to be about critical thinking and theory-not skills.

I accrued 954 clinical practicum hours while attending an LVN program in 2005. I completed another 300 clinical practicum hours during my time in an LPN-to-ASN transition program.

I now 'attend' an online RN-to-BSN degree completion program with no clinical requirement. I've already put my clinical time in through past experiences and do not wish to repeat this due to time constraints.

I know that some states not eligible to go some BSN program. I think one of them are nys. When I searching bsn program online , I came across that some states license holder can't apply.

Asn clinical experience vs bsn clinical totally different. Asn u do bedside vs bsn mostly management clinical experience and community nursing.

Most RN to BSN programs have no clinicals, other than a community health project. I'm in NY and also went to WGU - loved it, don't regret it at all. :)
